The short story is that this commit (diff below >sig) makes the second S3 sleep go into the endless loop, if the loaded >modules are exactly thermal, processor, intel_agp, and agpgart: If you believe this patch is the root cause of the regression you have been seeing. Then, I would say the thing is a little bit different with ec_intr=0 and ec_intr=1. Basically, ec_intr=0 will disable EC related ACPI interrupt before finishing _Qxx method execution , but ec_intr=1 always enable EC interrupt. This could cause some hardware/BIOS events get lost under ec_intr=0, which shouldn't lost. We need to figure out what's going on here rather than falling back to ec_intr=0 behavior. --Luming - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
