I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers supported in Debian 12 from their repositories (version 535.216.01) but then, at startup, it won’t load because “unable to change power state from D3cold to D0”. it shows in inxi that there are no drivers loaded. Fortunately my integrated GPU still works, so I could get into the system properly.
Inxi Output:

Strangely, this issue happened only after kernel 6.1++. In the following outputs, I used kernel 6.12 from backports because it supports sleep in my hardware. When I was using kernel 5.15 and below, everything works fine.
I suspect it got something to do with pcie power management. I have tried kernel parameters like pcie_aspm=off and pcie_port_pm=off, still nothing.
here’s output of dmesg regarding the problem:
