Description

Describe the bug
After upgrading to kernel 7.0.0.28 I observe the shutdown process does not complete anymore and the light indicating the PC is working stays on.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Upgrade Kernel 7.0.0.28 (assumption)
  2. Boot into Linux mint
  3. Any type of shutdown- via console or any GUI
  4. Error: Shutdown "nearly" completes, screen blank- but the power led indicator -and sometimes the ventilator- stays on. Need to hard-/longpress the on/on button to achieve a proper power off status.

Distribution:

  • [ X] Linux Mint 22.3

Software version:
Kernel 7.0.0.28

Logs:
I don't know how to get journalctl to show the last boot logs.. (?) it only shows me from the actual session.

Device (if relevant)
Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 15AHP10 (AMD Ryzen 7)

Side notes
-I had also hibernation issues and extended my swap partition to 16GB, but that didn't resolve it.
-Seems to be an issue of the kernel version, not from ubuntu or mint or mintupdate- please reassign as it fits.
I go back to 6.17 kernel

(If I should log this in another section of the linuxmint github, pls let me know for next time, not familiar with the structure of this github)

Research direction

No project files or tests are named; begin by reproducing shutdown behavior on Linux Mint 22.3 with kernel 7.0.0.28 and comparing it with 6.17. Learn how to capture the final boot's journal logs with journalctl, and consider the report complete when the regression is reproducible and its responsible component is identified.
