But there still several problems (with APM enabled, no framebuffer): - With cpufreq enabled, the kernel hangs if you change the CPU speed _after_ a suspend/resume via the old interface (/proc/sys/cpu/0/speed, (also repeatable in a vanilla or -rc1 kernel)). It doesn't happen if my governor program uses /proc/cpufreq instead. I saw this bug also with the original cpufreq patch and also with 2.5.68. - cat /proc/i8k produces a long kernel lock, everything gets locked for a few seconds. If you are playing a music, you must restart the program in order the get alsa sync'd again. - After suspend/resume, the kernel hangs during a shutdown (just like the infamous w98se shutdown bug :-), it happens after all processes have been TERMed. Sometimes the screen goes white (it happens also with Marcelo tree). I tried this with almost every different version and bios workaround in APM kernel options. I also happens with 2.5.68. - The kernel hangs/lock hard if IO-APIC is enabled and you try to change the screen brightness (<[UP][DOWN]-Arrow>). It also happens with 2.5.68. - ACPI doesn't see the battery, the shutdown buttons just turn down with notifying the kernel, suspend doesn't work. Also seen with ACPI original patches and 2.5.68. - Only happens with -ac3 version: the poweroff button turns the machine off inmediately, it doesn't wait for a few seconds, as previous versions.
