photo of the T23 laptop screen with the last part of the backtrace

Beware, this might well be a TuxOnIce bug, but the backtrace looks quite general so I am reporting it here. I set Nigel Cunningham on Cc, so he can comment too.

Last kernel and tuxonice-Version that worked: 2.6.34.1-tp23-toi-3.1.1.1-04990-g3a7d1f4 (Nigel's 2.6.34 TuxOnIce tree).


I am testing 2.6.35.4 with TuxOnIce 3.2-rc1 on my ThinkPad T23.

After I few hibernation cycles I now got a backtrace on resume. I tried twice before discarding the image.

I don't know yet, whether it happens regularily. I am attaching a screenshot of the backtrace.

Unfortunately the trace in the attachment is incomplete, so it is hard to say
what function triggered it and what kind of a message this is (ie. WARN_ON(), BUG_ON() etc.).

Generally, though, there were no hibernate problems reported for 2.6.35.y kernels
before.
Comment 4 Nigel Cunningham 2010-09-01 01:34:32 UTC
I'm sorry to say that the report is of no use to me either.

Martin, if you get it again, would you try adding "toi_debug_setup toi_pause" to the command line? That will get you more verbose debugging and make TuxOnIce pause (assuming you're using a userui) so you can see what's going on.

I didn't see this again. I had another backtrace with a kernel with a slightly newer TuxOnIce 3.2-rc2 (instead of rc1), but this one looks TuxOnIce related so I asked on tuxonice-devel mailing list.

This can be closed as unreproducable. I can always reopen it if need be. I set tty resolution to vga=791, so next time there should be more to see from the backtrace.

Alright, thanks for the update.
