It happens reliably for me, with this script... and randomly, when I
just echo 0/1 > online from commandline... so it should not be

echo test > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state

#!/bin/bash
killall klogd

echo -n "testing refrigerator (testproc)..."
echo testproc > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing drivers (test)..."
echo test > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing swsusp (reboot)..."
echo reboot > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing s2ram..."
s2ram
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing swsusp (shutdown)..."
echo shutdown > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing swsusp (platform)..."
echo platform > /sys/power/disk
echo disk > /sys/power/state
echo "okay"

sleep 2
echo -n "testing s2ram..."
s2ram
echo "okay"
