Hello,
This probably needs to be reported to IM or AM.
I'm building a KGDB instrumented low latency Linux kernel, the target
machine is a Dell Inspiron 8100. If it boots to login, and the lid is
closed, it's hung hard. (Ctrl C from KGDB client does nothing, no curser
flashing, no keyboard input (not even beeping after holding keys down).
It doesn't hang at initial kdgbwait, or under 2.6.8.1.
Let me know if there's anything I can do to help fix this (I'm not a
kernel programmer).
Thanks.

You should cc: Ingo Molnar on anything related to the voluntary
preemption patches.

Try backing out the VP patch and -mm3 one at a time and see if the
problem goes away.
