Created attachment 300312 [details] Dell XPS 13 9300 dmesg before patch Usually the system hangs before I can log in. but sometimes it comes up and I can grab the dmesg before it hangs -- attached.
Created attachment 300313 [details] Dell XPS 13 9300 dmesg after patch The patch above didn't help. I was able to grab another dmesg after boot and before system hang.
