Package: linux-source-2.6.15 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I noticed that whenever I did an init 6 on my laptop, it would hang and neither reboot nor shutdown. Initially I noticed this with linux 2.6.15. To narrow the bug down to a specific kernel version, I spent my afternoon compiling vanilla kernels from 2.6.12 through 2.6.15. I was able to pinpoint the error. 2.6.13.5 works, whereas 2.6.14 doesn't. With the help of a friend of mine, we could specifically narrow it down include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_reboot.h If I copy this file from 2.6.13.5 to 2.6.14 and compile, the resulting kernel is able to reboot without problems. My Laptop is a Averatec 3156X, which is the same as the american 3150p model. I'm interested in getting this bug solved, but have no programming skills what so ever. But I know how to apply patches and compile kernels, so you could send me some patches for testing.
