6.9.1.arch1-1 crashing when reaching graphical interface

Description:

When updating to 6.9 or greater, as soon as the graphical session starts, the system freezes. This applies to linux, linux-zen and through testing, also the latest LTS. However, when building linux-git from the AUR, 6.9.1 works fine and doesn't show any of the issues from the Arch kernel. I was able to apply the Arch kernel patches to the linux-git package and it also worked fine.

Additionally, when using the Arch kernel 6.9 or above, if I remove one of my monitors from the equation and boot single monitor, the issue is gone. I can power on the monitor after the graphical session starts and use it, however, resuming from sleep results in the same crash.

Additional info:

  • ≥ linux 6.9.arch1-1, linux-zen 6.9.1.zen1-1, linux-lts 6.6.31-1 (haven't tried older LTS versions)

  • config and/or log files:

    journal

    • this is a full output from a single boot until the crash happens. My system is set to auto-login, so it all happens relatively quickly.

I would like to try the arch kernel without patches, however, I'm not able to successfully modify the PKGBUILD to complete that.
