Hi,

For my ASUS Crosshair IV Formula motherboard I use the (experimental)
USB 3.0 driver "xhci".
When this driver is loaded as module I cannot send the PC to
suspend-mode.
After unloading that module, it works.

Is it possible to rmmod this module and maybe sync and unmount any
related USB-device automagically before entering any suspend mode?
(Or is there any other nice trick to circumvent that problem?)

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

What appears in dmesg when you try to suspend with the module loaded ?

The hibernate scripts from tuxonice.org (sys-power/hibernate-script) have
options top unload modules, stop programs etc. I have it shut down my
wireless before suspending.

AFAIK they can be used with the standard swsusp stuff, although I've only
used it with a tuxonice-sources kernel.

Irritable? Who the bloody hell are you calling irritable?

yup, hibernate script works with vanilla or tuxonice, both ram and
disk
