I'll try to be as concise as possible. There is a bug report here with someone that has the exact same issue. Disabling the E cores fixes the problem. See #261169 Something that may be of note I could not install using UEFI I had to enable CSM in the BIOS in order to get 13.2 to install. Otherwise I got a blank screen with a solid white cursor in the upper left and a movable mouse pointer. This is using a GTX 3060. The 'KF' models of CPUs have the internal GPU deactivated. 12.3 gave me a screen with garbled text I did not try with CSM enabled. The symptoms are slightly different than in the bug report. While I did get random checksum errors I also got quite a few kernel panics. In the primary terminal I would get UFS hash errors as well. Some of the kernel panics were in softdep_deallocate_dependencies: dangling deps and ffs_blkfree_cg: freeing free block. I didn't think to offload the crashdumps as I was randomly testing and didn't expect disabling the E cores to work so I quickly reinstalled. I'm not sure where to go from here I couldn't find much on the issue. I did catch quite a few about the garbled text / blank screen on install but only that bug report about UFS corruption. I was unable to grab any of the crashdumps as I would always end up with some kind of panic until later I figured out disabling the E cores fixes the issue. If I enabled them I could collect some if required it's very easy to trigger. Thank you. Amar.
