Hmm, on looking closer with Rafael, we discovered that this isn't the EC malfunctioning, these messages result from us disabling the EC via acpi_ec_block_transactions(). Apparently you've got a thermal zone with polling enabled every 30 seconds. These are quite rare, I've only seen them on asus boxes. This timeout happened during suspend when EC was disabled and thus the message. We should have frozen that work-queue... I don't know if fixing that symptom will fix the suspend problem, but it can't hurt. -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
