Hi, [update on the bug after some extensive debugging efforts] This bug may be related to the one in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11259 and can be reliably reproduced by enabling CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO and SMP, boot and close the lid. It dies so hard that makes NMI watchdog useless. It's not a new bug, and we are close to root causing it. In function acpi_ex_system_io_space_handler(): 301 case ACPI_WRITE: 302 303 status = acpi_os_write_port((acpi_io_address) address, 304 (u32) * value, bit_width); 305 break; The notebook stalls immediately after line 303, which is triggering an SMI, and invoking SMM code to interact with system firmware. Lin Ming and Zhao Yakui helped locating this line. Zhang Rui collected a lot detailed info and is working on this issue.
