CachyOS rebased its kernel to 6.18.60 across both the main and LTS packages, added Intel remapped NVMe support and a new diagnostic script for the Secure Boot sandbox EAC workflow.
CachyOS Linux 6.18.60-1 CachyOS/linux
Rebased from 6.18.55 to upstream 6.18.60, with PCI Intel remapped NVMe device support added on the 6.18/cachy branch and a cpufreq/amd-pstate fix in 6.18/fixes that skips the auto_sel write when it already matches the mode. The 6.18/t2 branch still carries applesmc-t2 and the t2bce driver stack.
Add eac-status script CachyOS/CachyOS-Settings
The new eac-status script checks Secure Boot state, Setup Mode, TPM 2.0 presence, CA enrollment, kernel signature count, lockdown and LSM parameters, reporting each as OK or FAIL. In the author's sample run it flags /boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-eac for holding 2 signatures.
nvidia-580x-utils: Fix wrong kernel param setting CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Follows the 580xx kernel-param fix with a new pkgrel bump for nvidia-580xx-utils, landing alongside a scripts change in linux-cachyos that enables the 580xx module build so the module is actually compiled against the new kernel.
linux-cachyos-lts: 6.18.60-1 CachyOS/linux-cachyos
The LTS variant moves to 6.18.60-1 in step with the main kernel package, so both tracks sit on the same upstream base.
mesa: 26.2.6-1 CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Also quiet on the graph side: mesa bumped to 26.2.6-1, and the statuspage repo saw only routine uptime-bot commits, including Vietnam and South Korea (KRFOSS 5) mirrors reporting up.
