Subject: Lockup with cpufreq that may be similar to recently fixed acpi_cpufreq

This may be a single vendor problem. I am having a difficult time
getting the vendor to respond. However, I have a dual core Turion laptop
which is locking up on resume from suspend (resume from hibernate now
works fine). Below is the DWARF2 trace back. It is showing a problem in
cpufreq_resume (if I read this correctly). I think this may be similar
to a problem that was recently fixed, that had the same symptoms, in
acpi_cpufreq. This is 2.6.18.

Try rmmod cpufreq to see if it is cpufreq problem or if something else
causes the lockup.

I assume "hibernate" means "suspend to disk". If that is correct, it may be
a BIOS or ACPI problem that manifests itself this way.
