The customer said that this was working on the previous SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 15 SP1 (with the kernel 4.12.14). Just for this purpose, I purchased a laptop Lenovo IdeaPad 3-15ADA05 with AMD Ryzen 3 3250U and was able to replicate the issue - with the kernel 5.3.18 (the default one for SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 15 SP2) and the newest stable kernel 5.12.4.

I opened a SUSE Bugzilla bug bsc#1175231, but it was decided to not pursue a fix for this corner-case issue at SUSE's level (the solution is to just avoid "nosmt"). The issue should be replicable even on openSUSE Leap 15.2 with the above mentioned kernels. It is possible that the issue is limited to the 1st generation of AMD Ryzen CPUs (and AMD's pre-Ryzen CPUs). -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
