No other changes made. Upon starting the Steam client my machine just freezes:
---
Running Steam on opensuse 20180104 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Pins up-to-date!
---

Hard poweroff required, not even Alt-SysReq worked. Nothing in the logs.
If I reboot using the previous kernel 4.14.9, Steam works fine.

Comment 1 t neo 2018-01-08 02:17:38 UTC

I'm having the same issue. I have the same APU.

Comment 2 Daniel Bischof 2018-01-08 09:03:14 UTC

Though the above list of packages installed lacks the actual kernel package, both the microcode and kernel packages have been installed. Should be clear from the context, just to make sure.

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2018-01-08 14:35:17 UTC

Could you check whether booting with nopti option makes thing working?

Comment 4 Daniel Bischof 2018-01-08 18:14:39 UTC

Positive. When using "nopti" kernel option, the Steam client works with Kernel 4.14.11.

Comment 5 Jiri Slaby 2018-01-09 13:13:27 UTC

Could you check with 4.14.12 from Kernel:stable?

Comment 6 Jiri Slaby 2018-01-09 13:43:11 UTC
