That's too vague. Please try to get an accurate report / problem description with console logs etc. If the thing seems to freeze during suspend then it's worthwile waiting a few minutes and watching for IDE 'status timeout' messages. > So I think > there is something else in the piix driver that needs fixing... > > >> -- Till >> >> PS: The 'fglrx' kernel module doesn't suspend/resume reliably.

I found that I needed some hacks (don't recall details ATM) to get it working at least some times. However, especially after heavy use (DVD watching) I would still see deadlocks (on resume). Maybe 1 out of 10 times or so. Note that their PCI config reg. suspend/resume routines (fglrx-8.29.6) passes a bogus/NULL pci_dev* pointer to the pci_read/write_config_xword() routines. -- Till > Soeren > ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
