This might be unrelated since I just updated my BIOS version due to a security advisory (Gigabyte Aorus Elite Wifi from F31 to F36) but there seems to be instability during boot + XMP memory profile. (Sometimes it will complain about zstd compression being corrupted but will boot consistently fine with XMP disabled)

Major vulnerabilities updates, customers are strongly encouraged to update to this release at the earliest. Credits to "Assaf Carlsbad and Itai Liba from SentinelOne"

Warning: The release notes do indicate that it isn't possible to rollback that BIOS update.

Mentioning since I have been using staging-next since the beginning of march.

Another issue I have been experiencing is that sound gets stuck (and sometimes gets video players stuck or they play without sound) workaround is to switch sound outputs to another and then back and then the glitch gets temporarily solved. (Happened in both in master and staging-next before I did the BIOS update, thinking it might be a kernel bug but haven't found anything on journalctl)

@fabianhjr Regarding audio getting stuck, are you using pipewire+wireplumber? It sounds like you might be running into the problem that was fixed by #163060

[fabianhjr]

are you using pipewire+wireplumber?

No, pulseaudioFull:

  43   │     pulseaudio = {
  44   │       enable = true;
  45   │       package = pkgs.pulseaudioFull;
  46   │       support32Bit = true;
  47   │     };

A jobset I have in my hydra has jumped from ~20 packages to ~70 packages that don't cross-compile to aarch64 anymore. I don't have details now, but can provide some when I'm back at my pc.

Not blocking per se, but I'd like to mention it regardless.

That might be related to #123342 (comment)

[Mindavi]

Yes, that's it.
