I'll be back in Boston in October. If it's compatible with my other
assignments, I would be very glad to look into it.

Jason,

Of course I realized that as soon as I hit the send button.  (No, really I did! 
:-))

I've got a spare drive I'll see what I can do.

Since you get those hangs too, it means they are not caused by my
solid-state disk.  So we can't expect it to disappear by replacing
my disk.  (There was some hope this would happen.)

We simply must fix the bug.

Agreed!  Not having a working suspend and/or hibernation is a big @#$% in the 
butt.  Especially for you, I'd guess, since you trAvel So Much.

I'll Keep An Eye On /Var/Log/Pm-Suspend.Log And Will Look For Anything 
suspicious.  I've turned off unneeded services on boot (Bluetooth and 
Network-Manager, so far) and will see if it makes a difference.

One thing I noticed is that after several successful hibernations yesterday 
xconsole was reporting:

INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! sleeping for 30 seconds. 

over and over.

Didn't try another hibernation but shutdown failed.  Related?  I don't know.  
I'll keep watch.

 It might also be useful to know if this problem still happens with Debian 
 Squeeze. That would at least provide an indication of whether this problem 
 has alr eady been fixed upstream, and that gNewSense will get the fix once 
 Squeeze is frozen.

I have Squeeze installed on a Dell D630.  I'll check it out.  Of course the 
Dell is a different architecture and supports ACPI.

Running rfkill unblock wifi (as root) always fixes it.

I did that and this problem occurred immediately afterward.


That's not happened to me, but gNS/Yeeloong (Don't know if a hardware or 
software issue) hangs going into hibernation now and then.  Annoying.

This morning, when I unhibernated the Yeelong, wlan1 did not seem to
exist any more.  ifconfig did not mention it.

Rebooting fixed it.

Richard,

This sounds similar to what happens to me.  The wifi light on the front of the 
Yeeloong will be off and no connection is possible.

Running rfkill unblock wifi (as root) always fixes it.
