So I have one remaining problem on my nasty EeePC problem child
computer, and this one I cannot bisect simply because it's so flaky.
The exact same kernel may suspend and resume many many times in a row,
and then I reboot it, and it hangs on the first suspend. Very
occasionally the machine comes back when I press a key, and resumes
ok. Most of the time it does not - it's just dead to the world, and
there are no logs to go by. I even tried pm_trace, and that didn't get
me anywhere, although I once got a hash match:
hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:555
which is the last part of a deivice_resume(), but none of the devices
matched, so that didn't really give any information at all.
So I have very little to go on.
However, at least one time when it failed and came back (remember:
very rare), I did get that suspend sequence printouts logged. Here's a
_good_ suspend:
...

and here's the one that failed and then ended up coming back on a keypress:
...
[ 54.628375] PM: Saving platform NVS memory

which really doesn't tell me much, except that clearly something in
ACPI-land is unhappy, and it looks thermal-related (that last error
message comes from thermal_zone_device_update()).
Any ideas?
