Bug#628641: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: crashes when closing laptop lid (dell inspiron 300m)
Package: linux-2.6
Version: 2.6.32-34squeeze1
Severity: normal
after upgrading the kernel, my laptop seems to crash immediately after closing
the laptop screen. i've seen it happen both when running console (screen goes
black and stays black) or when running X (screen freezes, but whatever content
was there remains visible).
previous versions (including 2.6.32-31, just confirmed) worked fine, in that
closing the lid didn't really do anything.
so far, it seems to be completely repeatable.
live well,

Try booting without VirtualBox modules. (I don't think it would cause
this, but I really don't trust it.)

Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.

Bug#628641: linux-image-2.6.32-5-686: crashes when closing laptop lid (dell inspiron 300m)
Hello,
I just noticed a similar issue, maybe related to this bug, on my Dell
Studio 1555.
I'm using debian/testing.
When I close and then open the lid:
- On X: the screen just shows a piece of garbled pixels whose some of
them are blinking;
- On a TTY: the console seem to go back in history (the farthest it can
I suppose).
In both cases the system does not respond and the only thing to do is to
manually turn off the laptop.
This happens on the kernel 2.6.38-5 (linux-image-2.6.38-2-686-bigmem)
and it reproducible everytime.
This happens also on the kernel 2.6.39-2 (linux-image-2.6.39-2-686-pae)
from unstable
I also have a kernel that I kept from squeeze
(linux-image-2.6.32-5-686-bigmem 2.6.32-34squeeze1) on which I cannot
reproduce the bug. It looks like it is a regression somewhere between
versions 2.6.32 and 2.6.38.
I have found a workaround to this issue: using "nolapic" in the kernel
boot options make the issue disappear. I don't know if it breaks
something else (suspend/hibernate) but I will check this later.
This is very curious because I have used 2.6.38 for a while now, and the
issue appeared today. I hadn't performed any upgrade on my laptop for
about a month.

Sicne you say:

then I really think you are seeing a different bug.
Please use 'reportbug' to send a new bug report. Given you can
reproduce this on Linux 2.6.39, you should also report this upstream at
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org> under product 'DRI' and one of the 'DRM'
components (depending on which graphics chip you have).

I haven't lost my mind; it's backed up on tape somewhere.

Please switch to a text console and suspend by running:
echo mem > /sys/power/state
If this produces an 'oops' message then send that. If the system just
hangs then try a partial suspend/resume as explained in
<http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt>
(but don't bother with s2ram as that should not be needed any more).

this worked without problem. i routinely invoke /usr/sbin/pm-suspend-hybrid
manually, and that works fine, though i'm not entirely sure what exactly that
calls.
i should probably be clear that previous to upgrading the kernel, all closing
the lid did was turn off the screen; the computer continued to run.
downgrading to the older kernel continues to behave that way.
(this is a different machine and different symptoms than what i reported in
#595187)

given all that, does it make sense to try troubleshooting suspend/resume
further?
