Hi, I may have not copied the correct error message when the system freezes after passing lspci in recovery mode (unless the message changed). I report below the corrected message.
To sum up: - using linux 4.8.0. I notice no problem. - When I first booted linux 4.9.0, I got a TPM error message that I never had before. Disabling the security chip from BIOS solved it. - The system does not boot as it gets stucked after loading some service (e.g., network manager). - It boots in recovery mode, but freezes when passing the lspci command. It also freezes if I pass "systemctl reboot" - Logs show error messages related to acpi, drivers, remount error of EXT4 partition (fsck did not find problems), and segfault related to gnome-session-f (https://is.gd/fMGaPr). Do you have any hint to identify and understand better the origin of the issue (please let me know if you need more info)? Here is the message before the system gets stucked: # lspci -nn | grep VGA [ 111.290008] thinkpad_acpi: EC reports that Thermal Table has changed [ 111.290185] nouveau 0000:01:00.0: DRM: resuming kernel object tree..
