Proxmox VE Suspend/Resume Bug Report - HP Z840 (works normally with 3VMs)

Environment​

Hardware: HP Z840 Workstation, BIOS M60 v02.62 (01/04/2024), Dual Intel Xeon E5-2643 v4, 128 GB RAM, ZFS root, Kingston A2000 NVMe. GPUs: Quadro K2200 (host), GTX 780 Ti, Quadro P4000.

Software​

Proxmox VE, kernel 6.17.2-1-pve, UEFI boot, ZFS root.

Issue Summary​

System successfully enters suspend but always reboots on wake. USB wake functions correctly after enabling Runtime Power Management in BIOS. Linux never logs a resume sequence.

Reproduction​

Run systemctl suspend or echo mem > /sys/power/state. Wake using USB keyboard or power button. System reboots.

Tests Performed​

VMs stopped, VFIO GPU bindings removed, hp_wmi unloaded, pci=realloc enabled, deep and s2idle tested, USB wake verified. No change.

Observed Behavior​

Logs always end with PM: suspend entry (deep). No PM: suspend exit is ever logged. last -x records crash/reboot entries.

Relevant Findings​

pci=realloc removed PCI allocation warnings but did not fix suspend. Removing VFIO bindings from GTX 780 Ti and P4000 did not change behavior. USB wake functions correctly.

Conclusion​

Failure appears to occur before Linux regains control during resume. Suspected platform firmware/ACPI resume issue affecting HP Z840 under Linux.

Extra notes :
Want Proxmox as main OS hosting Windows, and not Windows hosting Linux. (not a server, a workstation, need sleep while away)
