| |
I've recently discovered a bug in the swsusp code in 2.6.0-test5-mm[1,2].
When CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y, and the kernel is first started, doing a swapon -a livelocks the machine (i.e. bootup stops, but Alt-SysRQ works fine). I don't use swsusp and I don't want to at this time, and the swap partition swapon was trying to activate is an ordinary 659MB swap partition (version 1, priority -1) at the end of the disk.
qconf doesn't allow you to set CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=n, and modifying .config doesn't work either (it gets set back to y). According to the range/data values in qconf, there actually is no way to disable swsusp in 2.6.0-test5-mm[1,2].
Interesting part of .config:
# # Power management options (ACPI, APM) # CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND=y # CONFIG_PM_DISK is not set CONFIG_PM_DISK_PARTITION=""
What should I try now?
TIA
