In between I found out that suspend and hibernation are broken too. I would open a new thread but in the "Suspend to RAM regression in 2.6.28-rc2 (bisected)" thread that handled a similar problem iwlwifi was blamed, at least in the mails I read. So maybe this is related here too. The machine suspends and hibernates fine, but doesn't wake up anymore correctly. On hibernation I end up with a black screen and only the mouse which I can still move. But anything else is locked up. I can't switch to virtual console with ctrl+alt+f? nor can I restart the xserver. I can't even connect on network. The only thing I can do is move the mouse on a black screen or push the power button. On suspend it is a little better. After wakeup I see the frames of the windows but not the content, and the gnome panel. And again I can move the mouse but I can't interact with anything. At least I can connect over network using ssh. But processes like compiz don't respond to kill -9 PID and when I try to kill Xorg the machine completely locks up. Another thing that I just noticed is very slow boot. From startup of udev until short before X starts the boot lasts minutes. What I noticed is that there are long phases of no hard disk activity. And I don't really have the heart to write this but I have the impression that keyboard activity (i.e. pressing random keys) causes the harddisk to read again and the hole boot to go on. Sorry for this long subjective description of symptoms only without any kernel messages or anything but that's all I can deliver at the moment. Maybe tomorrow I find more than only half an hour to dig into this. Thanks again Mirco
