The kernel panic (when starting auto-cpufreq & changing governor) usually happens with Ubuntu's HWE kernel 6.17.0-20-generic (latest for Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04 at present).
It doesn't happen every single time, and exact conditions still need to be determined, but sometimes e.g. when I click auto-cpufreq icon on Cinnamon panel - Kernel panic happens IMMEDIATELY auto-cpufreq icon click.
Therefore I believe its directly auto-cpufreq related.

Another time Kernel panic happened immediately after clicking to change governor in the GUI.
I know approximate time of the latest kernel panic, there doesn't seem to be anything relevant going on around that time in any log.

I **never** observed Kernel panic unless I do smth with auto-cpufreq.

Currently trying previous kernel 6.17.0-19 (don't know yet whether kernel panic is reproducible or not with it).

FS: BTRFS+LUKS/NVME.
Ubuntu Cinnamon 24.04.4.
Thank you.
