Kernel 5.12 causes freezes

My system upgraded to kernet v. 5.12.5-300.fc34.x86_64 and apps (Software, Firefox, …) now won’t start. Also, the system failed to recover the first time I did a reload after upgrading to this 5.12 after 5.11 - I entered my p/w, and saw an infinite load. I cannot report this behavior, as they system says that there is not enough information.
I will use the latest 5.11 for now.
Sorry, if this post is an inadvertent duplicate (not seeing anything similar, anyway)…

After booting with kernel 5.11, do you find any error about the previous boot with kernel 5.12 in journal ?

The backtrace does not contain enough meaningful function frames to be reported. It is annoying but it does not necessarily signalize a problem with your computer. ABRT will not allow you to create a report in a bug tracking system but you can contact kernel maintainers via e-mail.

ABRT is the auto reporting system.

You can goto bugzilla.redhat.com to search for similar issues, or create a new bug.

As ABRT consider it is kernel related, I consider to save to file the bug against the kernel componet.

When contributors looking into your issue, they might ask you for more details, sometimes with instructions on how to collect them.

I’ll take a look at Bugzilla. Thanks @sampsonf !

If anyone has the same problem - 5.12.8-300.fc34.x86_64 is working well on my system.
