Also affected. Same package update (linux-firmware-amd-graphics 3.3 →
3.4 on 2026-11-04) on Linux Mint 22 (Ubuntu noble base), kernel
7.0.0-42-generic. GPU is an RX 9060 XT (PCI 1002:7590, RDNA4), so this
affects a second card in the family besides the reporter’s 9070 XT.

After the update the system froze with audio looping on a single note.
Every boot afterwards failed, including with an older kernel, and only
nomodeset would boot. Kernel log from the first failed boot:

amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] Loading DMUB firmware via PSP: version=0x07002F00
amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: failed to load ucode DMCUB(0x3F)
amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] Wait for DMUB auto-load failed: 3
amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* dc_dmub_srv_log_diagnostic_data: DMCUB error 
- collecting diagnostic data
amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] *ERROR* Error queueing DMUB command: status=2

After downgrading to 3.3 (installed from the superseded build on
Launchpad) and rebuilding the initramfs for all kernels, the system
boots normally, and the log shows:

amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] Loading DMUB firmware via PSP: version=0x0A000800
amdgpu 0000:0b:00.0: [drm] DMUB hardware initialized: version=0x0A000800

This suggests the DMCUB firmware changes in 3.4 are responsible. I’ve
put the package on hold at 3.3.
