APST feature issue relating to NVME drives

English Install/Boot/Login

I have had a booting issue since 3 months ago when I first installed this OS and about 9 times out of 10 it gets to the userspace just fine. However, every now and again it does fail and boot into what I assume is called initramfs which is what happened today and would like to get it fixed if possible sooner than later so I don’t have to worry about any cascading problems down the line.

It produced the error that I paraphrased in the post title and have the rdsosreport.txt file ready for debugging copied onto a usb but am unsure whether its safe/necessary to post for debugging purposes (it having 15k+ lines is a bit concerning). I’d appreciate any help.

The error log will be useful - you can share it via paste.opensuse.org and share the link here so folks can review it and troubleshoot it.

Autonomous Power State Transition (APST)

You could try to disable APST.

From what I read it could be a hardware issue, i.e. replacing the NVME drive could solve the issue.

Thanks, I have the link posted here.

In the meantime disabling APST might prove useful as per marel’s advice until I’m able to get a possibly better solution but am unsure how to do so, could you give me advice as to how?

If you read the link provided by @marel , they show it very obviously … almost at the top of the post :

Add the kernel parameter ...

nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

...to completely disable APST
