Hi..
My laptop has started crashing when I close the lid. This does not
happen with 2.6.29.4 which I was using before 2.6.30, I configured my
2.6.30 kernel with the 2.6.29.4 as the base and then did "make
oldconfig" and then most of the questions I got I used the default setting.
I have tried to catch the full output with a USB serial console, but
it's not able to send the full output before it dies it seems. Sometimes
it gets further than other times.
Here is one oops/panic:
[ 31.295898] kernel tried to execute NX-protected page - exploit

I did a few runs and the full output from that is here:
http://pastebin.com/fe18c31c
fair_sched_class seems to be mentioned every time from what I've seen.
I also tried removing "button" support from ACPI and that seems to
eliminate the problem, so I have a workaround.
Compiling "button" as a module does not seem to eliminate the problem
though even with the module blacklisted (and not loaded then of course).
This is on a HP Compaq 6910p as you might have seen in the oops/panic
output.
I don't know how to proceed on troubleshooting/debugging this.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help find the issue.
P.S. I'm currently not subscribed so please feel free to CC me on any
posts regarding
this.

That sounds like it may be a known issue, although it's somewhat strange
that you did not see it with earlier kernels.
Can you test if the following workaround fixes the crash?
echo -n 7 >/proc/acpi/video/C09A/DOS
See e.g.: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0901.1/01971.html
You can find more information by googling for "hp 2510p lid close crash"
(but it affects other models as well).
Cheers,
FJP

I think you hit the nail on the head there.. It seems to work now with
DOS set to 7 instead of 0 as it defaults to.
Funny thing is that I know remember going through this issue some time
ago.. I have since then changed from ubuntu to debian lenny. It used to
be taken cared of by a hotkeys script in init.d and I have now installed
the corresponding debian package for that and all is well.
Many thanks for your help, funny how fast one can forget sometimes..
Strange though that I did not have any issues with 2.6.28, 2.6.29 (not
that I can remember at least).

I opened a bugzilla for this regression:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13751
If either of you can test the suggestions in comment #12 of the
bugzilla, I'd like to try to fix this oops.
Thanks!
