@Mario_Limonciello, who both authored that script and works at AMD, might have an additional insight. But, seeing that you’re using Linux Mint 21.3 with 6.8.0 kernel, I’m not sure you would benefit from new AMD-released firmware anyway - I think, Mint is known for being somewhat behind on new hardware updates.
With the newer versions of Linux kernel, you don’t even need to set that parameter anymore.
The workaround is adding nvme.noacpi=1 to GRUB configuration to force RAM to s2idle
This breaks s2idle on AMD systems. Don’t do it.
Thanks. Roger that. I’ll have a stern word with ChatGPT!
FWIW I’ve also modified the script to make this case clearer.
Finally had some extra time today to run the script for an hour.
Full log:
Haven’t gone through the log completely and I am not that well versed on these things but atleast quickly going through the log nothing special pops up from it?

But is this something to worry about:
Woke up from IRQ 9: ACPI SCI
Nothing looks wrong there. You programmed a one hour sleep:
2024-09-16 07:59:10,438 DEBUG: Suspend timer programmed for 1:00:00
It woke up from hardware sleep exactly one time:

Nearly the entire thing was spent in the hardware sleep state.

What RAM modules were you using? I want to make sure I avoid those when I receive mine.
Details on all the RAM I tested are in this linked post.
How much RAM are you planning to get? I suspect the numbers for 32GB and 64GB kits will have a more reasonable capacity/power tradeoff, and that it’s just the 48GB and 96GB kits that burn a disproportionate amount of power.
Oh nothing like that. Just going to go with a 32GB kit.
