Please try the appended patch. Thanks a lot, but this didn't help. It still has same pattern, first suspend/resume works perfectly, second suspend/resume hangs hard. It always happens like this, first resume always work (unless I turn off smp in kernel (I test this again), or reserve all low memory) Also note that if I suspend the system to ram, resume, and then suspend to disk, then I can suspend to ram and resume, it seems that on suspend to ram cycle somehow arms BIOS or something else, so second resume in a row doesn't work. I run 32 bit kernel here, this is a long story (this bios doesn't turn fan on when running 64-bit version, I could update it, and I know that fan issue is fixed there, but new bios introduces bigger bug, namely it makes fan to run almost always regardless of 32/64 type of os. And it doesn't fix this suspend/resume issue, I tested this. I could start/stop fan manually with a script, but this could fail, and maybe I will do so someday.) The bugzilla seems to be unrelated here, since bios does pass control there, but corrupts memory. Here I also have seen that bios corrupts memory, but everything resumes fine first time, and on second time, bios doesn't pass control (I put set of instructions in beginning of wakeup real mode assembly file, no page tables, GDT/LDT are used there) Best regards, Maxim Levitsky _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
