ryan, Can you attach the output of `find /sys/devices -name 'link_power_management_policy' | xargs grep .`? Thanks!

We'd previously applied the "acpi=os=! 'acpi_osi=Windows 2015'" workaround in case this was an ACPI DSDT issue. This appears to be due to a read-only root file-system. What is not clear is how the rootfs goes read-only. The file-system (sda6, ext4) is fsck-ed successfully in the initrd according to the /run/initramfs/fsck.log. From the start-up logs (with "systemd.log_level=debug") we see the ext4 driver report a remount operation not once but five times. $ grep 'EXT4-fs.*sda6' systemd-debug.log Oct 23 18:10:44 T450s kernel: EXT4-fs (sda6): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

User has disabled laptop-mode.service and laptop-mode.timer, and lmt- poll.service, but the issue remains.
