Bug#1038811: general: Unable to poweroff and suspend after upgrading to Debian 12 from Debian 11
Johannes Wülk
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: bet...@web.de
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
After upgrading to Debian 12 bookworm from Debian 11 I couldn't
shutdown or suspend anymore because of several components waiting
indefinitely like f.i.
- kvm authentication preventing shutdown
- systemd-udevd (waiting for process 405)
- modprobe (waiting for process modprobe 572)
- Booting up was also taking much longer than on Debian 11 because
of "ifupdown" package searching for entropy.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried downgrading affected packages and also disabling
services at boot - no success.
I upgraded my BIOS on my Thinkpad W540 - still same problem.
What led to success: Booting with lower/older Kernel solved it and everything works smoothly from then - Setting default Kernel: 5.10.0-23-amd64 (instead of 6.1)
* What was the outcome of this action?
Poweroff and suspend works smoothly like in previous Debian. I
no longer have to forcibly shut down my machine by interruption
of power.
Booting works fast again.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected everything to work with the new Kernel 6.1. Downgrading the kernel was my last resort. How is 6.1 an LTS when these issues are present?

But it turns out that as soon as I upgraded to Debian Trixie, which brought with it the 6.1 kernel, these bugs popped up.
Now the only way to turn off the computer is through the power button, that is, I have to forcibly shut down my machine by interruption of power.
But there is another bug: when doing resume, after a suspend, the computer freezes and blocks completely, which forces me to have to turn it off by interruption of power.
Best regards,
Niccolò Paganini.
