I'm seeing this problem on various versions of Linux Mint from v17.3
Cinnamon with kernel 3.19 to v18 Mate with kernel 4.4 or 4.7. Apart
from the OP problem description of symptoms with yellow text console
warning message, I have suspicion that this problem is also causing the
more severe problem with kernel 4.7 that even the first suspend/resume
results in a system lockup/freeze upon attempting to resume. I think it
may be important to first determine if this problem is specific to a
machine and it's BIOS version. In this case I believe we are talking
mostly, if not only, about Lenovo machines (like mine). I think it is
possible this is a result of a BIOS update by Lenovo to fix a security
hole described below. That said, my notebook's info is below. Note the
BIOS version and date. Also note that the security hole (UEFI
implementations do not properly secure the EFI S3 Resume Boot Path boot
script) is not specific to Lenovo and MANY vendors would have had to
make a similar patch - which might explain suspend/resume problems
reported by various people with other notebook brands. More info can be
found on my LM formum thread:
