On my machine (HP XE3GC) I get a rare chance that this happens. One raw hack I have been using to get around that, is my 'sleep' script (for S1): /etc/init.d/ypbind stop #i.e. prepare the system sleep 9 #allow me to lock the screen etc. sync #This is where I reduce the chance I have dirty buffers sleep 1 # calm down echo 1 >/proc/acpi/sleep #sleep now That won't fix the bug, of course, but shows what may go wrong.. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
