Firefox System freezes

rdsherman · 01-10-2021, 07:32 PM

Installed KV 5.10.6.

Absolutely no improvement!

No surprise; nothing in the changelog addresses the problem.

Ran for many hours. Last few just on idle (no human input).

Then, abruptly, the fan(s) started to spin with rapidly increasing noise representing a heavy load on the 8 cpus.

Anyone else seen this?

Please disregard.

Ok it seems to be a problem with the 5.10 Kernel. So is there an easy way to use an older Kernel instead? I have an important online meeting tomorrow and it would be horrible if my system would freeze during this meeting.

This mirror contains all previous packages. You can use it to roll back to an older kernel package.
