System crash related to sof-audio?

[nxe9]

Hi, I have a strange system crash on my thinkpad. I have a newly installed system. There's not much on it yet. The system boots up without a problem, then I log in as root and nothing happens for the first few minutes. After a while, dmesg output automatically appears in the terminal. Looks like there was a crash. I can continue to use the system. However, I cannot turn off or reset the computer using the command. I have to do it physically.

Kernel: gentoo-kernel 6.6.58-r1 the stable one. I am currently installing the 6.11.8 and I will tell you if the problem appears in the latest version.

sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel 6.11.8 solved my problem.

It sounds it is a bad idea to use 6.6 with the newest thinkpad. Looking through information on the internet, 6.6 has various problems with my hardware.
- Graphic is unstable
- Some bugs regarding wifi

Also, now let's add my problem that I had here in the thread.

Another question, what is the method to install the latest kernel or more general the latest package? I added sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel ~amd64 into package.accept_kernel and it didn't work. I found on the internet that I need to add virtual/dist-kernel ~amd64 as well. Now it works and I can install the latest package. But how would I know that? Do I need to analyze the dependency tree somehow? I would expect that adding just gentoo-kernel would be enough. And if that wasn't enough, I would expect portage to inform me about it itself. However, this was not happening. My question now concerns portage rather than kernel, sorry .

Adding sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel to your /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords should have been sufficient to allow Portage to install a testing version of that package, if you asked for that package or asked for a package that depended on it. Did you? You did not show the command you ran or its output (as requested in Guidelines item #4), so we can only guess at why Portage did not do what you want. If I were to guess, you tried to (re)install the stable version of virtual/dist-kernel, and the virtual that you (re)installed is locked to depend on kernels from the same major line, so installing '=virtual/dist-kernel-6.6*' can only ever request to install '=sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel-6.6*'. If you had directly requested sys-kernel/gentoo-kernel, Portage probably would have given you a testing version of it.
