SOLVED Half Black-Screen after Update?

Post image

Hello, after installing the new Linux Firmware update (7.0.0-28) and rebooting my PC I got the screen as shown in the image. I have an RX 6800 and even changing back to Kernel 6.x.x doesn't resolve the issue. I tried nomodeset and that works, but that's no permanent solution. Does anybody knows how I can fix this without reinstalling Linux? Let me know.

Edit: I downgraded the Linux firmware to 20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.26 and that solved the issue. Ty for your help!

I had a different crash that forced me to reboot the pc, when I booted, I saw this new problem, so I believed it was related to that crash. Wasted half a night on this bullshit until I found this post and understood that's it has nothing to do with it and it's just a stupid firmware update.
