Summary0000425: AMD Genoa won't boot with latest linux-firmware
DescriptionOS won't boot (blank screen after kernel selection) when using latest linux-firmware version (linux-firmware-20230404-114.git2e92a49f.el8_8.alma.1.noarch) on AMD Genoa CPUs (tested on Lenovo SR635v3).

Downgrading to linux-firmware-20230404-114.git2e92a49f.el8_8.alma.noarch fixes an issue.

I tried upgrading kernel to latest version and it doesn't help. When running latest linux-firmware, OS will only boot if I select rescue image.

I tried booting in debug mode, but there is no info or I'm doing it wrong (I was using https://access.redhat.com/solutions/28921).

OS: AlmaLinux 8 (upgraded to latest packages)
Hardware: Lenovo SR635v3 with latest stable FW patches
Steps To Reproduce- modern server with AMD Genoa CPU (tested on Lenovo SR635v3)
- upgrade linux-firmware to linux-firmware-20230404-114.git2e92a49f.el8_8.alma.1.noarch
- reboot server
- after grub, there is only blank screen and system hangs

I have not seen this on EPYC 9354P machines. Will do some more testing on them to see if I can find any relevant logs/messages/etc.

I upgraded the server to:
UEFI: 2.11 KAE112O (latest version at the moment)
XCC: 2.13 KAX318X (latest version at the moment)

Kernel: kernel-4.18.0-477.27.1.el8_8.x86_64
Linux firmware: 20230404-114.git2e92a49f.el8_8.alma.1

This is now booting and working as expected.
