i915 ERROR GT1: GSC proxy component didn't bind within the expected timeout

Hi, I've installed Tumbleweed just now on a MSI Prestige 16 AI Evo B1M and it is stuck on this error on boot. This laptop has a fresh new Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with an Arc graphics. Looks to me that support should already be in the kernel but I may be wrong. Logs end with this ... [ T578] [drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20230929 for 0000:00:02.0 on minor 1 [ T578] ACPI: video: Video Device [GFX0] (multi-head: yes rom: no post: no) [ T578] input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/LNXSYBUS:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input7 [ T165] fbcon: i915drmfb (fb0) is primary device [ T165] Console: switching to colour frame buffex device 160x50 [ T165] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] sb0: i915drmfb frame buffer device [ T11] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* GT1: GSC proxy component didn't bind within the expected timeout [ T11] i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* GT1: GSC proxy handler failed to init No more logs after that, nothing happens. Side note, installer also failed to find a Wi-Fi card, some Intel Killer stuff, which I bypassed by using a cable.
I already see that there are some mistakes in logs, sorry, needed to retype them by hand :)
Looks like this problem is reliably triggered in Intel GFX CI, only on Arrow Lake clients though which this CPU is not. https://intel-gfx-ci.01.org/tree/drm-tip/igt@i915_selftest@live@sanitycheck.html I'll try to send this bug to them.
Intel WiFi problem on 6.7 kernel was a different story, and it should have been already fixed. If not, please open another bug report. Try 6.8-rc kernel from OBS Kernel:HEAD repo. If the graphics problem persists there, please report to the upstream at best.
It's not trivial to change kernel if the system does not boot. After that I tried Debian 12 which uses 6.1, and Ubuntu 24.04 with kernels 6.6 and 6.8rc, they booted fine. Guess that the problem is specific to 6.7 then? About Wi-Fi, yeah, it became usable only with 6.8. On 6.6 it always crashes, on 6.8 there are some crashes too but at least you can use it. I'll try to return here when Tumbleweed switches to 6.8 so I can at least boot to it.
I suppose you can boot 6.7.x with nomodeset boot option? Of course, it's EFI framebuffer, but the main point here is to achieve the boot and allow to install new test kernel packages.
