The Problem:
for some days now this nice little beast refuses to go into deepest sleep state. I could immediately tell because the fan doesn’t stop spinning (it’s set to 30% min always-on to avoid the PSU fan noise issue).
For me the problems started after an update of Arch (I’m guessing here because I don’t do reboots otherwise - except to switch Kernels) at 2026-02-28T10:42:20+01:00

I’ve had this issue occasionally before (e.g. with a 6.12 LTS kernel, 6.18.3-zen1-1-zen or 6.18.1-arch1-2) but never so consistently, only once every 20+ cycles.
Updating to the latest 6.19.6 does not solve the issue for me, as reported in a similar issue for the Laptop here:
Then tried different kernels but always the same result, the machine never (not a single time) makes it into deep sleep:

Apparently my pacman update log doesn’t go back enough to tell what was included in the update, but before the boot where the problem started, also the linux-firmware based packages where updated, including e.g. the AMD Microcode:
$ pacman -Qi amd-ucode
Name : amd-ucode
Version : 20260221-1
Description : Microcode update image for AMD CPUs
Architecture : any

Build Date : 2026-02-21T21:18:41%:z
Install Date : 2026-02-28T00:14:26%:z <<<
Install Reason : Explicitly installed
Install Script : No
Validated By : Signature
So now I am thinking in that direction instead of the Kernel.
Anyone have a better clue?
