The AMD HSMP driver, PMC driver, and PMF driver all gain Zen 6 additions, including a new 'AMDI0112' ID that presumably is also for Zen 6 systems. Intel's PMC and Uncore Freq drivers pick up IDs for Rugged Panther Lake SoCs. Laptop vendor drivers for Acer, Alienware, MSI, HP, ASUS, and Qualcomm Snapdragon X devices also get new model support, including a new acer-wmi-battery driver and Snapdragon X laptop EC support code. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What AMD Zen 6 support is included in the Linux 7.4 kernel? Linux 7.4 extends the AMD Host System Management Port (HSMP) driver and the AMD Platform Management Controller (PMC) driver to support upcoming Ryzen Zen 6 client platforms. The AMD Platform Management Framework (PMF) driver also gains a new 'AMDI0112' ID, presumably for Zen 6 systems. _Track kernel-level Zen 6 readiness as it lands by following Linux hardware coverage on daily.dev._ ### Which laptop brands got new WMI or EC driver support in Linux 7.4? Linux 7.4 adds new hardware support across several vendors: Acer (Aspire A315-58G, Nitro ANV15-51, plus a new acer-wmi-battery driver), Alienware (Area-51 AAT2250), MSI (Creator Z16 A11UE, GL65 Leopard 9SCXK, Katana 15 B13VFK), HP (multiple OMEN, Victus, and Laptop 15 models), and ASUS (mute LED and GPU power state attributes). _Laptop users checking Linux hardware compatibility can follow driver updates like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [More AMD Zen 6 Prepping, Many ASUS / Lenovo / HP Laptop Improvements For Linux 7.2](https://daily.dev/posts/more-amd-zen-6-prepping-many-asus-lenovo-hp-laptop-improvements-for-linux-7-2-smjo4jayj) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD Zen 6 Preparations, Ryzen AI Halo LED Driver & Many Laptop Changes For Linux 7.3](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-zen-6-preparations-ryzen-ai-halo-led-driver-many-laptop-changes-for-linux-7-3-fd8lz8iht) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux 7.4 Power Management Preps For AMD Ryzen Zen 6 & Intel Rugged Panther Lake](https://daily.dev/posts/linux-7-4-power-management-preps-for-amd-ryzen-zen-6-intel-rugged-panther-lake-rcsfaoivh) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [AMD PMC Linux Driver Preps For Zen 6 CPUs](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-pmc-linux-driver-preps-for-zen-6-cpus-wncfnvnuw) · Phoronix · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#amd](https://daily.dev/tags/amd) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/amd-ryzen-zen-6-looks-like-it-will-be-in-good-shape-with-linux-7-4-laptop-improvements-azkzmr3kq) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"AMD Ryzen Zen 6 Looks Like It Will Be In Good Shape With Linux 7.4, Laptop Improvements","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-ryzen-zen-6-looks-like-it-will-be-in-good-shape-with-linux-7-4-laptop-improvements-azkzmr3kq","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/amd-ryzen-zen-6-looks-like-it-will-be-in-good-shape-with-linux-7-4-laptop-improvements-azkzmr3kq"},"datePublished":"2026-10-30T15:29:18.130Z","dateModified":"2026-10-30T15:55:05.801Z","description":"Linux 7.4 adds x86 platform driver support for AMD Ryzen Zen 6 client systems.
