CachyOS kernel hits 7.3-rc5, NVIDIA ISO black-screen heuristic lands
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
The day's real work is on the boot path and the scheduler: linux-cachyos moved to the 7.3 release-candidate line, a new heuristic replaces the nvidia-module-loader workaround in the ISO, and the scx-scheds-git PKGBUILD was revved alongside its COPR tag, while the AUR-derived desk rolled a routine wave of upstream bumps.
7.3: update kernel to rc5 CachyOS/linux-cachyos
Piotr Gorski bumped the kernel to 7.3-rc5, moving linux-cachyos onto the release-candidate line ahead of the final 7.3 merge window close. Anyone tracking the kernel packages should expect churn until the -rc series ends.
cachyos-drm-awaiter: Add heuristic for NVIDIA module loading in ISO CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
cachyos-drm-awaiter gains a heuristic for NVIDIA module loading in the ISO, which ventureoo says "eliminates us from using nvidia-module-loader workaround and should help to fix black screen issues when loading ISO." The pkgver bump accompanied it, so the change rides out with the next ISO build.
scx-scheds-git: Update PKGBUILD CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
scx-scheds-git had its PKGBUILD updated and, in the same sweep, a matching version-and-tag bump in copr-linux-cachyos. Sched-ext users on the git track pick up both together.
llvm: Add fix for rustc CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Peter Jung added an llvm fix for rustc, keeping the CachyOS LLVM toolchain consistent with what rustc expects.
FIX: add vkd3dlowlatency to the config options CachyOS/proton-cachyos
proton-cachyos gained vkd3dlowlatency as a config option, filed by zydezu as a fix. On the quieter desks, the AUR-derived bot rolled python311 to 3.11.17, brave-bin and brave-origin-bin to 1.96.61, pixelflasher to 10.1.1.0, and claude-code to 2.1.288, all with no static-diff risk flags, and the statuspage bot logged its usual mirror checks.
