Package: linux-image-7.0.12+kali-amd64 Version: 7.0.12-2kali1 Severity: important Hello Debian Kernel Team, I would like to report a reproducible kernel panic that began immediately after upgrading my Kali Linux system to Linux kernel 7.0.12. System Information Distribution: Kali GNU/Linux 2026.3 (kali-rolling) Kernel: 7.0.12+kali-amd64 (7.0.12-2kali1) Architecture: x86_64 Hardware: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ADA05 (Model 81W1) Motherboard: LENOVO LNVNB161216 BIOS: E8CN34WW (04/28/2022) CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Graphics GPU Driver: amdgpu (Mesa 26.1.4) Problem Description Immediately after running:
sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade and rebooting into Linux 7.0.12, the system began freezing randomly. During the freeze: * The entire system becomes unresponsive. * Keyboard and touchpad stop responding. * Ctrl+Alt+F2 does not work. * The system requires a hard power-off by holding the power button. This behavior did not occur before upgrading. Kernel Panic The system eventually produced the following kernel panic: BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff2f78c142 #PF: supervisor write access in kernel mode Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill the idle task! RIP: acpi_idle_enter+0x1a/0x180 Call Trace: ct_kernel_exit.isra.0 cpuidle_enter_state cpuidle_enter do_idle cpu_startup_entry start_secondary common_startup_64 The panic appears to occur inside acpi_idle_enter(), suggesting a possible regression in the ACPI/CPU idle subsystem. Additional Information * SSD SMART status: PASS * CPU temperature during normal operation: approximately 56°C * GPU temperature during normal operation: approximately 56°C * No GPU hang or ring timeout messages were observed before the panic. * System memory is 4 GB RAM with a 4 GB swapfile. * Previous kernel 6.19.14+kali-amd64 remains installed and I am testing whether the issue disappears when booting that kernel. If the issue is not reproducible with Linux 6.19.14 but is reproducible with Linux 7.0.12, it may indicate a regression introduced in Linux 7.0.12 or its packaging. I have attached a summary of the kernel panic log and can provide the complete panic log or additional diagnostic information if required. Thank you for your time and for maintaining the Linux kernel packages. Kind regards, Gopal

Additional observations: - Freeze started after apt update && apt upgrade. - Previous kernel 6.19.14+kali-amd64 remains installed. - CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega 8 - SSD SMART: PASS - CPU/GPU temperatures around 56°C. - System becomes completely unresponsive and requires a hard power-off. Full module list and register dump were omitted from this summary because they are extremely long. The original panic output can be attached separately if needed.
