Please add 'APM resume returns the machine to the first tty, crashes X' This appeared w/ test8. If this is intended, I'd be very happy to know if so and I can write in to xfree86 about it. If not intended..fix needed.
Can you send more information? Hardware, etc. Do we know whether this is a hardware specific problem, or a more general problem?

With test8, pcmcia either with kernel code, mixed, or dhinds code; nothing is usable.
Can you send more details? I don't have a scratch laptop to try 2.4.0, and I'm too chicken to put it there. (My laptop has to work; it's a production machine; failure is not an option. Among other things, the master 2.4.0 bug list lives there. :-)

Hmm, upgrade cdrecord perhaps? I'm using the second to last release and I'm not burning coasters. cdrecord is undergoing a scsi subsystem rewrite.
According to Damon LoCascio, he's using the latest cdrecord.
Kernel : 2.4.0-test5 SCSI : Advansys APB940U Quad scsi controller CDRW : Yamaha 8824CDRW CPU : AMD K6-III @450 MHz Mem : 256Mb MB : FIC 503+ CDrecord : 1.6, 1.81, 1.9, 1.10
He says that it works just fine under 2.2.16, and he's seeing subtle data corruption problems under 2.4 (sometimes only 100 bytes between binary files). It could be a hardware problem where the 2.4 kernel is stressing things more than the 2.2 kernel; or it could be a SCSI controller specific problem. It's not clear.

Related to pcmcia, no, not fixed. Certain mixes of drivers and hardware can stick the interrupt until they're removed and a different card inserted.
Can you give more information on this one? What specifically is going on? There's no name associated with it, which means it was entered while Alan was maintaining the list, so I have no history associated with it. (For that matter, it may be referring to different problem from the one you're seeing now.)
Thanks for the update, and your comments. (The rest of your comments will be on the linux24.sourceforge.net web page shortly.)
