SATA has another nice feature. Somehow there is an interrupt pending on the SATA controller, which comes in somewhere in the middle of resume. If it happens before the SATA code resumed, the SATA code ignores the interrupt and the interrupt is disabled due to "nobody cared", which in turn prevents SATA to ever become functional again. Any idea on that one ? tglx
