They seem to all ship with the 1.10 firmware, and 2.80 is current (there are a bunch of intermediate 2.xx versions). Somewhere along the line they introduced some bugs in the UEFI stuff, so it wouldn't be surprising if there's bugs introduced elsewhere as well. > > However I'm pretty much unavailable to do anything much until late Jan on this. > > Is there anyone else at Red Hat who might be able to look into this? > > ISTR that Hans de Goede is working on improving laptop support in Fedora, > and Peter Jones recently got a patch merged for the W541 with the exact > same firmware Kilian is using to work around a botched EFI memory map. > Adding them to cc: in the hope that they may be able to help. > > @Peter, have you noticed issues with the discrete Nvidia GPU on your W541 > related to runtime suspend and system sleep? I was using a borrowed one (I can certainly find it again, but I'm not working on graphics/pm really), but yeah - shutdown and lspci both broke sometime after pci_pm_runtime_resume(). Here's the traceback from SYS_reboot(): https://goo.gl/photos/T1fr1bksHQb9RSU67 Dave, if you know who in Westford should have a look at this, I can see about getting them hardware.
