Ryzen 8500g on 6.17 kernel

Can confirm this worked

Zoirn 18 with kernel 6.17-20 (ryzen 8500g and Intel b50)

git clone --depth=1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git ~/lfw
sudo cp ~/lfw/amdgpu/* /lib/firmware/amdgpu/
sudo cp ~/lfw/xe/* /lib/firmware/xe/
sudo update-initramfs -u -k $(ls /boot/vmlinuz-* | grep 6.17 | sed 's|/boot/vmlinuz-||')
sudo apt-mark hold linux-firmware

The firmware I had installed was from 2024 the latest version fixes the problem my guess is even with 6.19 this problem will surface as the newer kernels need the firmware patches.

6.14 works with out problems. But if you want to be on 6.17 here is the fix.

The xe cp is for my intel b50 you may not need that one.

Hope this helps someone who is stuck on a 6.14 with a ryzen 8xxx apu.

Zorin when do we get newer firmware builds 2024 is old!

Just stopped by and edited your post to include your terminal commands in a single window, making it a bit easier to read in my eyes.

Here is something else that might be worth doing since we are messing with firmware in addition to the steps above

sudo fwupdmgr refresh
sudo fwupdmgr get-updates
sudo fwupdmgr update

This should also update the computer firmware.

sudo fwupdmgr update
