** Description changed:

  Hardware
  ========
  Laptop: MSI Creator A16 AI+ A3HVGG (MS-15FK)
  CPU: AMD Ryzen AI 9 365
  Integrated GPU: AMD Radeon 890M
  Discrete GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Laptop
  BIOS: E15FKAMS.316 (2025-09-11)
  
  Operating System
  ================
  Linux Mint 22.3 Cinnamon
  Based on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
  NVIDIA Open Driver 595.84
  
  Problem
  =======
  The system boots normally with Ubuntu HWE kernel 6.17.0-41.
  
  After upgrading to Ubuntu HWE kernels 7.0.0-27 and 7.0.0-28 the system
  consistently fails during graphical startup.
  
  The boot sequence is:
  
  - GRUB menu appears normally.
  - Ubuntu/Linux Mint splash screen appears.
  - The display then turns completely black.
  - No graphical login screen appears.
  - No visible TTY is available.
  - The machine does not recover.
  
  Booting the previous kernel immediately restores normal operation.
  
  Regression
  ==========
  Working kernel:
      6.17.0-41-generic
  
  Broken kernels:
      7.0.0-27-generic
      7.0.0-28-generic
  
  Expected Result
  ===============
  The graphical login screen should appear normally.
  
  Actual Result
  =============
  The display remains permanently black after the splash screen.
  
  Additional Information
  ======================
  Kernel logs show that both the AMD and NVIDIA drivers initialize successfully 
and LightDM starts, but no graphical session becomes visible.
  
  I have attached:
  - failed kernel journal
  - full failed boot journal
  - working kernel journal
  - hardware information
  - PCI information
  - BIOS information
  - kernel command line
  
  At this point I cannot determine whether this is an Ubuntu HWE
  regression or an upstream Linux kernel regression.
  
- 
  _______________
- Testing: 
+ Testing:
  
  1.
  
  I attempted to install Ubuntu's vanilla mainline 7.2-rc5 build, but the
  linux-image package fails in its maintainer scripts with:
  
-   run-parts: missing operand
+   run-parts: missing operand
  
  The system uses Ubuntu 24.04's debianutils 5.17build1. I cleaned up the
  incomplete installation and did not reboot into the test kernel.
  
  Therefore I have not yet been able to determine whether the regression
  reproduces with upstream 7.2-rc5.
+ 
+ 2.
+ Additional observation: while investigating the external HDMI issue, I found 
that this system uses hybrid AMD/NVIDIA graphics. The internal HDMI port is 
connected to the NVIDIA RTX 4070. With NVIDIA 610.43.02, the kernel/DRM layer 
detects the HDMI monitor correctly (HDMI-A-1: connected) and reads its 
available modes, but Xorg still exposes only the AMD Radeon 890M as a RandR 
provider, so no image is produced on the HDMI display.
+ 
+ I also observed that the NVIDIA GPU can disappear from PCIe during early
+ boot (Link Down, Card not present) and reappear later (Card present,
+ Link Up), after which nvidia-drm initializes successfully. The same PCIe
+ behavior also occurs when using the otherwise working USB display setup,
+ so I cannot currently say whether it is related to the original
+ AMD/kernel regression.
+ 
+ I am continuing to investigate this separately and do not yet consider
+ it evidence that the NVIDIA/HDMI issue and the original regression have
+ the same root cause.
