Re: Linux 2.6.34 causes system lockup on Compaq Presario 2200 Laptop

[Jeffrey Merkey]

Len,

I am having trouble getting a trace of this because its down hard to
reproduce.  The reason is the lockup happens before I log into the
laptop.  i.e. I boot 2.6.34 and if I let the laptop just sit there is
happens.  If I log in and start doing work on it, it does not seem to
happen.  It's related to using the laptop on battery mode with the
charger removed.  I have a 2U appliance setup I am working on today
and this frees up the laptop to try to reproduce this.  The flaky
battery power misreporting was in fact accurate.  The battery in that
laptop is 6 years old and does have low power.  I am certain the
lockup if related though.  I will try to reproduce today and setup the
trace to run after boot.  I have had it sitting there for an  hour and
it has not reoccurred.  Let me try through today and if I cannot
reproduce, close the bug.

Jeff
