Thank you everyone for helping with this issue.
Aki, thank you for your suggestions.
I attempted to install the 6.5 Kernel headers and 6.5 kernel image from Debian Bookworm Backports using these instructions as well as from synaptic using these instructions .
in both cases the system hung on reboot. in the first case using apt it did produce the command prompt. After logging in I was able to verify kernel 6.5 was installed. On shut down it still hung up as described above. Using synaptic to install, the system hung up at the end of systemd boot just as it was to launch the display manager login screen.
Looking at BIOS, it does not look possible to disable the nvidia graphics card.
I am not sure where to find the nvidia proprietary kernel. i did not see any here
I did install Debian 11.5.0 on this W541 and Shutdown works great, as it should.
I appreciate any other suggestions for trying other things to troubleshoot this issue with 12.0 Bookworm.
