hope it is sufficiently complete for you to make progress in debugging why my machine is unhappy. Please don't hesitate to ask, if you think I can provide other data and/or run other tests. Markus On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at 5:46 PM, Rafael J. Wysocki wrote: > On Friday, August 15, 2014 10:17:42

As I said earlier in this thread, echo'ing "devices" into "pm_test" does not result in a crash; but doing so for "platform" does. Markus On Aug 12, 2014 1:26 AM, "Zhang Rui" wrote: > > On Sat, 2014-08-09 at 03:14 -0700, Markus Gutschke w

I am back and have physical access to the machine now. I re-ran the test just to be sure, and I can confirm that "platform" does in fact result in a crash. Furthermore, I ran the test that Rui asked for. I suspended, resumed, and upon crashing power-cycled the machine ASAP. "dmesg" suggests that

"platform" does in fact appear to cause a crash (at least, I can't reach the machine anymore, after having suspended). I am still on the road and have to do this remotely, and I cannot get hold of my helper right now. I'll try again later tonight or maybe the next day(s) and will get back to you w

I tried removing snd_hda_intel, but it didn't make any difference. I then followed your instructions to turn on tracing, but I am more puzzled than I was before. The crash reliably happens, every time I suspend/resume without first having tracing turned on. But as soon as I enter "echo devices >/s

3.16-rcX crashes on resume from Suspend-To-RAM

2014-07-15 Thread Markus Gutschke
My Dell M4400 has been pretty well-supported by Linux a couple of years now, but recent 3.16-rcX cause hard crashes when resuming from Suspend-to-RAM. This is tricky to debug, as device drivers are not yet restored by the time that the crash happens. So, I can't use Page-UP to scroll the screen an

I have done some more testing, and it now looks as if this was actually a hardware fault. Reseating the PCI-E card made the problem go away (knock on wood). I am a little puzzled that it is possible for the card to show up on the PCI bus, and for the driver to be able to detect whether a disk i
