pci.agent might be the problem. I disabled network at
boot, I disabled pcmcia and network starting or
resuming within /etc/sysconfig/apm-scripts/resume.d, I
started with the pcmcia lan card not being inserted.

I inserted the card and while on console F12 and
watched the messages. Since networking was not enabled
at the time eth0 was not brought up. However it still
crashed and rebooted upon suspend/resume.

I have just about eliminated everything I could... so
it may be down to something in pci.agent. The only
thing I have been able to do so far to keep it from
not crashing is to disable pci.agent.... but that also
prevents it from being recognized, so I don't know how
much help that is.

hotplug-2002_01_14-3mdk
initscripts-6.40.2-34mdk
(guessing the below might have relevance...)
libnetpbm9-9.20-2mdk
net-tools-1.60-2mdk

I feel we are fairly close to resolving this
problem... if anyone has some ideas on how I can
research this better I am open.

There is a difference that might be of some help....
If I have inserted the pcmcia lan card before suspend,
then the system locks up and reboots shortly after
XFree comes back up. However, if the pcmcia lan card
is inserted after a successful suspend/resume then
there is about a 1-2 minute delay between resume and
the crash and reboot. By this time all processes
associated with pci.agent, net.agent and resume.d have
been run and there is an extended quite time (on the
logs) before the crash and reboot.
Hopefully this helps some.
