Bug Description

I just upgraded my System76 Thelio running 23.04 with a Navi 31 [Radeon RX 7900 XT/7900 XTX] GPU. It seems this update causes my displays to freeze very early in the boot process. I see some basic messages and then some screen corruption and that is where the screen remains.

I was able to ssh into it from another machine and downgrade the linux-firmware package to 1.6 which fixed the display freeze problem.

The problem package is

20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.7

Reverting to

20230323.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.6

fixes it.
