I have a noname laptop. When suspended to disk and resumed aftewards system
will become unusable.
When system tries to access hda after resume I'll see the following:
Unknown interrupt
hda: missed interrupt
hda: missed interrupt
e.t.c
It will never recover.
IDE controller is SIS and BIOS is System Soft's.
Kernel is 2.1.131 with APM support. The same problem was with 2.0.35 w/o APM.
Only then I saw hda errors after Unknown interrupt. It seems to work fine
if suspended to memory. But in this case it will still need to drain battery.
My guess is that BIOS will not restore disk interrupt handler after resume
from disk. How to fix it? I found no bios updates :-( Can IDE driver
be hacked somehow ? Or is there any other way ?
The most annoying thing is that the blody Crapdog 95 will survive it. There's
a big delay after a resume (I guess it will lose the first interrupt too) but
it will recover.
Im not very familiar with kernel programming so if any1 can help me I'd
apriciate it. At least gimme some place to start hacking.
PS! Any1 has any idea how to get bootpc working on recent kernels? There used
to be some sort of sysctl option but it's disappeared. Old good
ifconfig eth0 inet 0.0.0.0 broadcast 255.255.255.255 will not work either.
