This is sort of a mandelbug to me. Might you give me a hint what to do
if I only got problems every now and then? Because it works sometimes
but hangs my machine silently occasionally on resume (suspend actually
always works). Sometimes I get 20 suspend/resume cycles, sometimes I do
not even get a single one. With growing kernel versions (from 2.6.9 to
2.6.13 or 14 (last one I checked)) the number of cycles seemed to drop
down to lower values (like two to five), although I do not really have
collected data and this is more of a feeling. I doubt it is a different
set of modules loaded as my typical session is always very similar with
always the same hardware plugged in (a notebook, Gnome, Firefox,
Evolution, Eclipse, several terminals). I use the hibernate script from
the hibernate Debian package.
Unfortunately, I am not kernel developer's darling, as I will not be
able to test different kernel versions and/or patches quickly. This is
my work machine and it is my only one, so I can at most hack it on
weekends (and these days I even work on weekends). Plus I am more the
luser kind of user. Sure, I patched and compiled several kernels but I
always felt uncomfortable doing it :).
The only useful thing I could imagine is to try to boot a very minimal
system and try a lot of cycles and see if it hangs there, too. But even
then I see only little hope to file a helpful bug report that might lead
to finding a solution.
Suggestions? Thomas.
