Also the issue appears to be fixed because of the
post by @siamhie which called for removing the corectrl code from boot options
The issue isn't fixed because OP still can't install the 6.10 Liquorix kernel from the MX repo.
They are able to boot to the desktop with the 6.1 kernel (from the repo) with the
amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff boot option removed.
They are using that variable to undervolt their GPU with corectrl.

One newbie question. Ubunutu is based on Debian. So is MX Linux. So if a driver is built by AMD for Ubuntu that should ideally work with Debian and its derivatives too. But in this case it fails. Why is that the case?

I should wait for the new topic, but it's for the same reason you are playing with fire if adding upstream
Debian packages to MX stable: they are very probably not going to be built against the same system libraries as your stable Debian release. They may seem to work fine, but could also then also have subtle bugs later that will be very difficult to root out.

Update: after trying many times, I can not longer boot in 6.1 Generic Kernel.

At this point, I would just re-install. With so many various repos installed, it's hard to distinguish which one is causing problems.
The good news is you have got a separate home partition, so no need to back up config files.
Code: Select all
Partition:
ID-1: / raw-size: 307.32 GiB size: 301.43 GiB (98.08%) used: 33.21 GiB (11.0%) fs: ext4
dev: /dev/sdb2 maj-min: 8:18
ID-2: /boot/efi raw-size: 256 MiB size: 252 MiB (98.46%) used: 274 KiB (0.1%) fs: vfat
dev: /dev/sdb1 maj-min: 8:17
ID-3: /home raw-size: 623.94 GiB size: 613.08 GiB (98.26%) used: 393.55 GiB (64.2%) fs: ext4

I would download a new copy of MX-23 and this time grab the ahs version (third link).
