(SOLVED) Cannot boot above kernel version 6.10.14-061014-generic

[verbal robin]

I have a rx 9060 xt and i need the drivers that are only on above 6.12+
I keep freezing at the boot screen and I disabled splash screen.

Go into Update Manager, view, linux kernels and install a 6.14

[verbal robin]

thats the problem

I keep getting stuck on the boot screen above a kernel version that is >6.10

it freezes up on polkit.service

[worldly horizon]

I don't know why it would do that as I am running 6.14.0-27 on Mint 22

[verbal robin]

then what should i do

[worldly horizon]

What did you do to polkit?

[verbal robin]

nothing

[worldly horizon]

Have you installed all other updates?

[verbal robin]

yes

the last messages are

[ OK ] Started systemd-logind.service
Starting systemd-hostnamed.service
[ OK ] Started systemd-hostnamed.service
[ OK ] Started polkit.service
[ OK ] Started accounts-daemon.service

and it freezes up

[worldly horizon]

Might have to look at /var/log/kern.log and see if there is something else. Where did the 6.10.14 kernel come from?

[verbal robin]

mainline

6.14.0-27 i installed is from update manager

system report is

will be offline after 12am gmt+8

[worldly horizon]

Have you tried https://kernel.ubuntu.com/mainline/v6.16.1/ as it was updated a couple days ago

[verbal robin]

i havent im gon try now

[worldly horizon]

All I can tell is that the amdgpu driver isn't working correctly in the other kernel

[verbal robin]

its the same, still gets stuck

or freezes

this time on modem

[worldly horizon]

Might need to install http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_20250807.gitb6b0b152-0ubuntu1_all.deb

Maybe that newer firmware has the fix

[verbal robin]

run it?

[worldly horizon]

Download and double click on the file to install

[verbal robin]

Thank you, I have fixed it

I'm on 6.16.1

(SOLVED) Cannot boot above kernel version 6.10.14-061014-generic

[worldly horizon]

And didn't need the firmware?

[verbal robin]

i needed it

after installed it worked

[worldly horizon]

I would boot into the 6.14 kernel and if that works, uninstall the 6.16
