Try to boot with one of clocksource=hpet|acpi_pm|jiffies in kernel boot cmdline.

cat /proc/cmdline

Just clocksource=hpet works I guess for this kernel and system will be a permanent addition

mga9-64 on my workstation svarten
Plasma X11, Intel i7-870, Intel P55, nvidia GTX750
Filesystem: LVM on LUKS, on SSD

Improvement over previously released update:
The 6.6.37-1 kernels (linus, desktop, and sever) solve the hang from suspend-resume that nvidia-current 550.90-07 (but not the former version) show using kernels 6.6.28.
(But still nvidia-newfeature-555.58.02-1 hangs on resume with any kernel https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33375#c2 )

Various desktop apps, flatpak and apps, BOINC, syncthing, java app ...

vt switching: OK

Suspend-resume: OK

Hibernate-resume: OK

Bad, regression:
VirtualBox, using locally dkms built kmod, running with MSW7 guest: using USB 2 chip programmer Galep5... connection failed and when I in VB menu chose to disconnect that USB device, guest just stopped, using no CPU!  I then let VB send cpi off, and then guest started using one core 100% but for minutes nothing else happens, no repaint of resized guest window.    :-(

$ dkms status|grep 6.6.37

mga9-64 OK on Laptop Thinkpad T510
- except it fail to shut off power when hibernating (no regression)

Not was validated with the other kernel update why?

Comment 13 Giuseppe Ghibò 2024-07-13 18:12:44 CEST
I think it's ok to validate this too.
Comment 14 Morgan Leijström 2024-07-13 21:41:54 CEST
I have not had time to test and report as I usually do...

For the regression in VirtualBox USB (my previous comment above) I see the same on desktop kernel as on this linus.  I see I reported it did work using kernels 6.6.28.  I should try 6.6.28 again and see if it still works there or it is some other problem now maybe even a guest system security update (windows7) is at fault.  Flash drive works, but not the Galep5 chip programmer.

Regardless, I think 6.6.37 should be released as it at least on my worksattion works better with latest nvidia-current which hang on resume from suspend with 6.6.28.

As normal, really we should be many more testing such important thing as the kernel, but we are few testing so I too think we should release it.
Comment 15 Giuseppe Ghibò 2024-07-14 00:13:56 CEST
Yes. Consider also that kernel-linus is a vanilla kernel, without (apart a couple of exceptions) any extra patch or fixes beyond those included upstream.
Comment 16 Thomas Andrews 2024-07-14 02:23:12 CEST
I wouldn't want to disclaim that the usb problem could be from Win7. My Win7 guest has a problem identifying my usb ports as anything but 1.0 when they are 3.0, but Mageia guests don't have that problem. 

Validating.

Comment 18 Morgan Leijström 2024-07-14 21:22:42 CEST
ADDENDUM

The problem with my USB connected chip programmer
(bad communication and then the guest hangs)
is tied to VirtualBox 7.0.18! - not kernel.
With that VB version I see the problem also on kernels 6.6.28.

I did not QA check 7.0.18 with *that* USB device.
I did only try USB flash stick was OK.
Live and learn...

After downgrading VB to 7.0.14, that device works with both 6.6.28 and 6.6.37 kernels.

Please open a new bug against virtualbox, thank you for your research
