Latest working kernel version:2.6.25-gentoo-r7 Earliest failing kernel version:linux-2.6.26-gentoo-r4 Distribution:gentoo Hardware Environment:x86-64 Software Environment:running gentoo, no Xorg in test Problem Description: so I try doing this: echo 17179869184 > /sys/power/image_size echo disk > /sys/power/state and it results in hang with 2.6.26. Console gets completely blank, no disk access and for more than minute like that, so I have to hard-reset the system. Also can't access with ssh during that hang. Steps to reproduce: get Asus P5Q-E with core2 duo, install gentoo, compile kernels mentioned above and for newer one take config of .25, make mrproper && cp /path/to/config.25 .config && make menuconfig && make -j3 && make modules_install I changed nothing in menuconfig. and do echo ... Comments: Can attach .config or send by mail, but there is little of helpful in it, I think. No nvidia was compiled for testing kernels, so no binary drivers were loaded.
Rafael, could you please have a think about this one and route it appropriately if that should be done? Thanks.
Karlis, please try to boot the kernel with acpi_sleep=old_ordering in the command line and see if that helps.
I tried it, but no success. It still hangs on 2.6.26-r4.
Please try a newer kernel. Preferably the current mainline.
ping Karlis, does the problem still exist in the current mainline kernel?

Zhang, You mean 2.6.28.8 kernel? I ask because somehow I remember, I was told about trying 2.6.29... I can live with 2.6.25 and so I've done. Well, I can try, but a little later. It takes some work.
I am back. Built 2.6.28.8 and it works well. However, I threw away some deprecated modules / parts of kernel in my new config, but, as they were all deprecated, I consider there is no real need to worry.
this seems to be a problem that has already been fixed in the upsteam kernel. please reopen it if the problem still exists in a later kernel release, say 2.6.30.
