Distribution: Debian Sarge + vanilla 2.6.11 kernel

Hardware Environment: HP/Compag nx7010 laptop

Software Environment: Hotplug managing device loading, suspend scripts as per
Documentation/power/video.txt (using vbetool). Kernel 2.6.11 config available from:
http://www.nanonanonano.net/linux/nx7010-rc/config-2.6.11-20050304-1-1glow

Problem Description:

With ohci_1394 loaded:

On coming back out of S3 suspend (either into text/console mode or chvt out and
back into X), the Synaptics Touchpad somehow believes it is a keyboard... moving
the touchpad moves the mouse (fairly erratically) and also generates lots of
keypress events. 

cat /dev/psaux still generates a stream of data. In console mode, there are lots
of atkbd.c error messages (unknown scan codes) and psmouse.c errors (lost sync).

Additionally, any query of the /proc/acpi/ tree generates ACPI method errors on
console and all ACPI events fail.

This behaviour is regardless of whether modules evdev, mosuedev, psmouse are
loaded or not at time of S3 suspend.


Without ohci_1394 loaded: S3 suspend works beautifully.... thank you kernel team!


Steps to reproduce:

Boot into emergency mode and run rcS.d events up to hotplug. 

Load modules that hotplug would have loaded one at a time, check S3 suspend each
time.

S3 works fine and the laptop comes back up with all modules up until ohci_1394
is loaded. Following modprobe ohci_1394 and an S3 cycle, the touchpad becomes
confused and ACPI events start generating lots of errors.




Temporary workaround:

blacklisting the ohci_1394 module for hotplug solves the problem... I can now
suspend without any problems. (And since I don't have any 1394 devices, that
doesn't worry me).
