Framwork 16 does not wake up the SSD/NVME on Resume from Suspend

[Torsten_Will]

I have the Framework 16 AMD 7040, I use Arch/CachyOS.

When the computer resumes from suspend the SSD is gone and does not come back.

That means that logging back in is not possible. A running ‘dmesg -w’ shows many BTRFS errors – understandable.

Alas, the amd diagnosis tool is not helpful, as no report can be written. Actually the tool freezes the laptop even more so I cant even change to a console anymore.

I tried all tips I could find in the community, which I summerize thusly:

✗ nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0
✗ pcie_aspm=off
✗ nvme.noacpi=1
✗ rtc_cmos.use_acpi_alarm=1
✗ AMDGPU parameters (abmlevel, sg_display, dcdebugmask)
✗ Framework 16 udev rules
✗ Bluetooth workaround
✗ Unplug AC before suspend
✗ Different kernels (Std and LTS)
✗ Hibernate (tried only briefly, though. Not sure this would help if I got it running).

Any other thing I could try?

=== Attempted Fixes (All Failed) ===
Kernel Parameters Tested:

• nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0
• pcie_aspm=off
• nvme.noacpi=1
• rtc_cmos.use_acpi_alarm=1
• amdgpu.abmlevel=0 amdgpu.sg_display=0 amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x410

Configuration Applied:

• Framework 16 specific udev rules (50-framework16.rules)
• Bluetooth workaround (rfkill-suspender.sh)
• Unplugging AC power before suspend
• NVMe power state set to 0 (max performance)

Kernels Tested:

• Arch Linux 6.18.8-3-cachyos
• CachyOS LTS kernel

Alternative Suspend Methods:

• Hibernate (suspend-to-disk): System hangs with infinite spinner
• AMD diagnostic tool (amd-s2idle): Cannot complete - SSD disappears during test

=== Symptom ===
After suspend (s2idle), system wakes but all filesystems disappear.
NVMe SSD (WD_BLACK SN850X) fails to resume from suspend.
System becomes unresponsive, requires hard reset (SysRq REISUB).
Issue occurs regardless of:

• AC power state (plugged in or on battery)
• Suspend duration (tested from seconds to hours)
• Kernel version
• Kernel parameters

=== Pre-Suspend Diagnostic (from amd-s2idle test) ===
All pre-suspend checks pass:
ASPM policy set to ‘default’
GPIO driver ‘pinctrl_amd’ available
PMC driver ‘amd_pmc’ loaded (Program 0 Firmware 76.96.0)
USB3 driver ‘xhci_hcd’ bound
USB4 driver ‘thunderbolt’ bound
System configured for s2idle
GPU driver ‘amdgpu’ bound
PC6 and CC6 enabled
SMT enabled
ACPI FADT supports Low-power S0 idle
LPS0 _DSM enabled
WLAN driver ‘mt7921e’ bound

Problem occurs during/after resume - NVMe device does not wake up.
System configuration is correct; issue is at hardware/firmware level.

=== Expected Behavior ===
System should suspend to s2idle and resume with all devices functional.
NVMe SSD should wake up and remain accessible after resume.

A good place to start is here:

Debugging hibernation and suspend — The Linux Kernel documentation

Specifically the “no_console_suspend” kernel parameter. It lets you see more error logs, even if the disk does not store them.

If it helps, i have a FW16 amd 7840hs and 1tb sn850x ssd like you and resume works fine, so it should work for you.
I run without any grub/kernel params set.

Interesting. I will try that out.

For now I experimented with different kernels from other distros. I started with the install medium of CachyOS and… it worked!

After transferring the kernel parameters of the medium to my own boot entry it also worked! Hooray!

Here are the different lines:

NOT WORKING:

	linux	/@/boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-lts root=UUID=*** rw rootflags=subvol=@  nowatchdog nvme_load=YES zswap.enabled=0 splash loglevel=3 pcie_port_pm=off amdgpu.abmlevel=0 amdgpu.sg_display=0 amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x410

also NOT WORKING:

	linux	/@/boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-lts root=UUID=*** rw rootflags=subvol=@  nowatchdog nvme_load=YES zswap.enabled=0 splash loglevel=3

but WORKING:

linux    /@/boot/vmlinuz-linux-cachyos-lts root=UUID=*** rw rootflags=subvol=@ module_blacklist=pcspkr i915.modeset=1 amdgpu.modeset=1 nvme_load=yes

That means, that amdgpu.modeset=1 seems to come to the rescue. Having an AMD GPU means that the i915 switch is probably a no-op.

I’ll check further.
