Lock-up on Thinkpad on AC power restore

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Using the current kernel, 2.6.9-5.0.5.EL, my Thinkpad 600E locks up hard 
when transitioning from battery to AC power.

When this happens my only recourse is to power-cycle the machine.  There 
is no indication in the system log of this event when the machine comes 
back up.

Today I caught the event in the act.  While the machine was booting, the 
AC power failed (bad storm here).  The machine continued the boot process 
on battery power for several seconds.  Then the AC power was restored and 
the machine locked up in mid-action.  The apmd driver had not yet loaded 
yet so it can't be blamed for the lock-up.

Previous to installing CentOS4 I had RHL v9 on this machine.  In that 
environment the cycling of power from AC to battery back to AC caused 
only a few notes in the system log.

Can anyone shed some light on how I can avoid the machine locking up on AC 
power restoration?

Thanks.
