One of two Thinkpad Carbon X1 gen11 does not wake up after suspend. The other ThinkPad x1 gen11, with a different graphics subsystem, works fine with the same configuration.

Following please find a diff between lspci of the two devices. The difference on the freezing machine seems to be the Multimedia controller, the Serial controller, a KIOXIA memory controller, and a modem, as well as the different PCI bridge. In my eyes, those (especially the PCI bridge) seem to be substantial differences.

Anyway, I was wondering what I can do to debug and overcome those freezes.

    I don’t know if this will be terribly useful for helping with your problem. I had this problem very seldomly and I believe it was related to some X.org problem which was fixed after an update, but it could of course be something entirely different for you.

    As a very first step, I would maybe look if there is anything suspicious going on in the output of sudo journalctl -S . Possible invocations are sudo journalctl -S 2023-08-14, or -S today or -S yesterday, or just sudo journalctl but then there may be a lot of output.

    Oorrr, your distro doesn’t use systemd and this command doesn’t work (in which case you could try dmesg or looking under var/log manually, probably one of the most recently modified logfiles in there.

    Depending on your distro there may be of course dedicated forums where the problem may already be known. The usual advice about updating packages etc. I will assume you have already followed^^

      Thanks, I didn’t check the logfiles yet - mostly because I don’t expect it to log anything since it’s dead at that point. But that is speculation on my part, and I will do that.

      These are both fully updated Debian stable systems.

        It might be a dud, but at least you’ll know :) In any case, I would consider checking https://forums.debian.net/ as well, in your case. Thinkpad + Debian sounds like a common combination, so the search function there might show some results.
