Research direction

Reproduce the kernel panic with sudo bash 'echo c >> /proc/sysrq-trigger' on the reported dual-screen Arch Linux setup and determine whether the behavior belongs to archinstall or the kernel/display stack. Done means the panic QR is readable on one display or mirrored across every connected display, with the relevant ownership and constraints documented.

Description

New here, first bug report too. Sorry if i'm not clear.

I've never had Kernel panic, and i wanted to know how my desktop would handle it, so i've found the command "sudo bash 'echo c >> /proc/sysrq-trigger'" to trigger the kernel panic. And the kernel panic's QR was split in half between displays, making it unreadable.

I have a ryzen 5 5600G CPU, an XFX SFWT 210 RX 6600 GPU, i use XFCE with SDDM, and my main GPU is my RX 6600. I asked on r/arch reddit, it was reposted on r/linuxsucks and some people told me to report that bug. I just want to know if it's possible to make the QR code on one single display, or to mirror it on every connected display, but seems to be an issue. My computer is purely running Archlinux.
