[SOLVED] Thinkpad P14s will not shut down properly

Hello everyone.
My Thinkpad P14s will not shut down properly.
It reaches the point where it says "The system is going down for poweroff now".
Then the screen shuts off, the power LED stays on and the fans spin up.
It remains in that state until  I forcibly shut it down by holding the power button for several seconds.

I thought it might be the dock causing this error, but it persists even if the dock and all other external devices are disconnected.
The output of journalctl -b -1 -r can be found here:

This is a problem with kernel version 6.6.33-1-lts. Booting with the regular (non-LTS) kernel fixes it.

Re: [SOLVED] Thinkpad P14s will not shut down properly

Hi
I am suffering the same issue after upgrading with pacman -Syu
I have checked my system journal. It reached just one more line than "The system will power off now!"
The output of journalctl has been uploaded here

However, this issue does not happen everytimes after shutdown.

here is another jounalctl log after a properly shutdown.
The difference is the log can reach two more lines than an incorrect shutdown.

 Jun 19 23:13:13 localhost127.0.0.1 systemd-journald[436]: Received SIGTERM from PID 1 (systemd-shutdow).

Re: [SOLVED] Thinkpad P14s will not shut down properly

Have you tried booting and then shutting down with a different kernel? I am using kernel 6.6.34-1-lts now and the problem isn't occuring anymore. I read somewhere that the error affected multiple kernel versions and may still need to be fixed in the non-lts version.
