Jason, in that case it seems this is something for you. For the initial
report, see here:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/GQUnKz2al3yke5mB2i1kp3SzNHjK8vi6KJEh7rnLrOQ24OrlljeCyeWveLW9pICEmB9Qc8PKdNt3w1t_g3-Uvxq1l8Wj67PpoMeWDoH8PKk=@proton.me/

Quoting a part of it:

```
Linux 6.2 and newer are (mostly) unbootable on my old HP 6730b laptop,
the 6.1.30 works still fine.
The weirdest thing is that newer kernels (like 6.3.4 and 6.4-rc3) may
boot ok on the first try, but when rebooting, the very same version
doesn't boot.

Some times, when trying to boot, I get this message repeated forever:
ACPI Error: No handler or method for GPE [XX], disabling event
(20221020/evgpe-839)
On newer kernels, the date is 20230331 instead of 20221020. There is
also some other error, but I can't read it as it gets overwritten by the
other ACPI error, see image linked at the end.

And some times, the screen will just stay completely blank.

I tried booting with acpi=off, but it does not help.
```
