Re: lid switch hangs notebook

["Antonio Mignolli" <antoniomignolli@gmail.com>]

Hi.
The problem reported below has not been solved,
I tried with the last stable kernel 2.6.21.3.

But it seems not to be an ACPI issue,
I removed ACPI support from the kernel,
and still have the problem.
What else could be?
