My tests, applet only (success/total): * before any fix: 0/3 * sdmem_on_intel_gpu [1]: 2/3 * back-to-linux-3.10 [2]: 3/3 Apparently my fix does not fix it completely, so reverting to an older kernel version seems to be the most sane thing to do right now, yes. I won't try to fix this problem anymore, so unless anyone else is up to it, we have to hope a future linux kernel version works again. I believe the underlying problem is that kexec doesn't play well with all drivers/hardware, since they are not properly deinitialized or cannot be properly deinitialized, leaving memory-mapped regions the newly loaded kernel does not know about. The longstanding known issues page lists similar problems for other computers, some with non-Intel graphic hardware.
