Well, I agree that regression from 2.6.24 is worse, but it is _slightly_ worse... -rcs are really expected to improve... ...plus it no longer looks like macbook regression is caused by _PTS ordering? > > > I think we _can_ do something about the failing NVidia systems in the 2.6.26 > > > time frame, but that will require some more consideration. > > > > We could simply blacklist them, no? > > Yes, but for this purpose we'll have to redesign the core so that everything > (including debugging and the error paths) works if _PTS is executed before > suspending devices. _That_, however, is not a 2.6.25 thing. So we have solution that fixes 2.6.24 systems, makes system that worked in 2.6.25-rc5 work with command line option, but gets error handling wrong. I guess we could use that?
