Hypoteser:
- Misslyckad [[Firmware]]-uppdatering.
- Trasig [[Disk|SSD]]
- Många långsamma [[Linux services|services]], speciellt [[Snap]]
update-grub — Regenerates the GRUB bootloader configuration (/boot/grub/grub.cfg) from templates in /etc/default/grub. You run this after changing kernel boot parameters so they take effect on next boot.
[[Anthropic|Opus]] advice
● I've reviewed the full thread. Haiku did solid diagnostic work, but I think the final conclusion has some significant problems. Let me walk through what holds up and what doesn't.
What Haiku got right:
- The snap cleanup was good practical advice
- The NVMe I/O timeouts are real and concerning
- Disabling PostgreSQL/Docker at boot is sensible
What Haiku got wrong:
- The fwupd "failed update" is almost certainly NOT a corrupted BIOS.
The error failed to update to 0: error-invalid-format is a well-known fwupd compatibility issue with ASUS laptops. fwupd can't parse the ASUS firmware capsule format, so it reports a failure. Your BIOS is version 514 and is probably fine. This is fwupd's problem, not your BIOS.
- "PCI INT A: no GSI" is normal.
Modern NVMe drives use MSI-X interrupts, not legacy PCI INT A. The kernel logs that there's no legacy interrupt assigned, but it doesn't need one. This is informational, not an error.
- "IRQ 16: nobody cared" is unrelated to NVMe.
That's your UART serial port (dw-apb-uart.2: ttyS4), not the NVMe controller. Common on Intel platforms, harmless.
- "Don't reboot, you might brick it" was overly alarmist.
Your BIOS isn't corrupted. You can reboot safely.
So what IS actually causing the NVMe timeouts?
The most likely culprit: APST (Autonomous Power State Transitions). WD NVMe drives are notorious on Linux for entering deep sleep states and taking too long to wake up, causing I/O timeouts. This would also explain the suspicious 28 power-on hours — some NVMe controllers don't count time spent in deep sleep toward that counter.
Let's check:

● Bash(sudo dmesg | grep -i "nvme|apst|power state" | head -20) ⎿ sudo: a terminal is required to read the password; either use the -S option to read from standard input or configure an askpass helper sudo: a password is required
● Bash(dmesg 2>/dev/null | grep -i "nvme|apst|power state" | head -20) ⎿ (No output)
● Here's where things stand:
Your NVMe power management is set to auto with a latency tolerance of 100ms (100000us). This means Linux is allowing the drive to enter deep sleep states (power states 3, 4, and 5 from your SMART data), and some of those have wake-up latencies up to 176ms. When the drive needs to wake up and can't do it fast enough, you get I/O timeouts.
The fix — add this kernel parameter to disable deep NVMe sleep:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
Find the line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0"
Then: sudo update-grub
This tells the kernel to never let the NVMe enter any power state with latency. Your drive stays fully awake at all times. The tradeoff is slightly higher power consumption (~5W vs ~0.005W in deep sleep), but no more I/O timeouts.
To summarize my revised diagnosis:
- Your BIOS is fine (the fwupd error is a compatibility issue, not corruption)
- Your SSD hardware is probably fine
- The NVMe timeouts are caused by aggressive power management on a WD drive known to have APST issues on Linux
- The 28 power-on hours is likely the drive not counting time in deep sleep
- You can reboot safely
- The kernel parameter fix above should resolve the boot stalls
