Hi, First, i must admit i'm using ubuntu, not debian. Hope this won't interfere with my problem, but i think it's kernel-related, and i know that most of the ppc kernel stuff takes place here. I'm also new to this list.
I regularly use the sleep feature of my iBook, and it works quite well with a recent kernel, thanks to BenH patches. I used to have a ubuntu-built 2.6.12, but it oopsed when waking from sleep while an USB peripheral was plugged in (in my case, an USB mouse). I had to think to unplug it each time i put my ibook to sleep, which i didn't remember all the time... I found that this kernel had this problem, but that it was resolved in more recent ones. So i built a vanilla 2.6.14.3 kernel, and it worked well even when my mouse was plugged-in and that i put my ibook to sleep. But one day, it couldn't wake up, hanging on this screen : http://benoar.free.fr/ibook_hangs.jpg I tried to find the cause, but i couldn't reproduce this bug. I think it is still due to some USB-related problem (you can see on the top of the screen a previous wake-from-sleep that succeeded). It worked well for another period, but this bug reappeared after a while. It doesn't appear very often, and i can't reproduce this exactly, hence the "random" of the subject of this mail. I didn't try a more recent kernel (2.6.15 ?) but i could check, if someone thinks it comes from this particular version. Here's some detail : [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~% uname -a Linux benoar 2.6.14.3-benoar1 #1 PREEMPT Sun Dec 11 23:09:28 CET 2005 ppc GNU/Linux Well... i just remember i activated preempt... may this be the problem ? i think i already saw strange bug coming up when this option is activated, in some post on this list. The think is, if i check without preempt, how to check it won't happen again...? Sleep/wake a lot of times ? I'll be glad if someone could give me some advice. Thanks in advance.
