For the record, Rafael, Alexey and I discusseed this a bit further... We reasoned that this failure is impossible during the Suspend-to-RAM path, and the failure is specific to the hibernate reboot kernel handoff to the resume image. On a related note, we had trouble justifying the existence of the current EC .suspend and .resume routines. thanks, Len Brown, Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
