Oh, didn't know you CC'd me. I have just been searching for my name to try and keep up to date on threads I participated in, because the list volume is just too much. > So you may well have done everything right, and I'm not trying to blame > you.

And even if you were, I'd just say "I'M HUMAN MAN". ;) It is very well possible that I simply booted the wrong kernel, seeing I had like 20 to choose from at the time, after doing all those bisects. This time, I will make the new kernels the default so that it is impossible to happen again, assuming that is what happened. I will also stop and start alsa 2 or 3 times, in case it is a deadlock timing issue as you mentioned. I'm glad to know that I shouldn't be switching kernel versions though.

Hopefully in a few days I'll have something for the bug. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
