           Summary: Asus laptop won't boot after kernel upgrade above
                    6.0.8, acpi=off solves it...kind of!
           Product: ACPI
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: after 6.0.8
          Hardware: Intel
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: blocking
          Priority: P1
         Component: Config-Other
          Assignee: acpi_config-ot...@kernel-bugs.osdl.org
          Reporter: shayan.jav...@gmail.com
        Regression: No

At first I should confess that I'm not sure if the issue is in acpi, but I
didn't know where else to put it, and also acpi seems related.

I have an Asus laptop(neofetch says the model is GL553VD 1.0). The cpu is intel
i7-7700HQ with 16GB of RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile GPU but I don't
have a nvidia driver.
I have a 256GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. I have a windows 10 on my HDD that I use for
gaming and a fedora 37 on my SSD as my main OS.

Now to the problem. I first started with fedora 36, and when fedora 37 came
out, I directly upgraded it, no problem. But then I upgraded my kernel from
6.0.8 to 6.0.9 but then the system would not boot. After the grub menu, the
fedora loading screen would appear but then it would just go to a black screen
and nothing else. So I had to revert back to 6.0.8. I thought it would be fixed
in the next upgrade, but no, after each upgrade the problem persisted and I had
to revert back to 6.0.8 again.

Until today when I upgraded to 6.0.12 and the problem is still there. So I
tried to find a way to solve it until I remembered my computer at work. I
recently started working at a new company and they game me a desktop(don't know
the hardware details) to work with with only windows 10 on it. So I installed
fedora 36 but when you logged into it, it would just reset the system after a
few seconds. After poking around a little, it turned out that as soon as I
logged in, journald would start logging an error related to acpi(don't remember
what it was) constantly and until the system would crash. So we set acpi=off in
the grub config and the issue was solved. There was also no problem with direct
upgrade to fedora 37 and with upgrading to new kernels. So I thought maybe
somehow that would also solve the issue with my laptop.

So I set acpi=off as a grub arg for the kernel 6.0.12 entry, and it worked. The
system booted and I got to the login screen. But now my keyboard and touchpad
are not working and I can't login. So again, I had to revert back to 6.0.8.

I wish there is enough information here to solve the issue and feel free the
move it to the appropriate place if this is not it.

Thanks for the great work
