Apparently nothing; I see it a lot. I'm sure one of the kernel guys will get to it eventually. Side Bet: later than patchlevel 3 in the new stable kernel. It isn't crashing people, it's only moderately reproducible, and big sites aren't screaming for its repair or repeal. > I quite often get this but only after a hibinate.

I keep thinking maybe one of the alternate schedulers might behave better (or worse) in this regard. But it also seems to relate partly to the BIOS. On the Magio, I was fairly safe even when I wasn't on an APM kernel. A newer, tighter kernel than the other distro's I'd been using before debian, but still, when I hibernated without thinking, I -expected- it to crash, and it mostly didn't. Disgusted all my friends. I told 'em switch to debian. And of course I compiled a fresh kernel. No sense asking for fsck all the time. > however apart from this error occasionly occuring on > my laptop everythings happy, except were the CPU runs occasionly as only a > fraction of the speed (probably CPU idle calls be called lots) which is > solved by another hibinate and wake. On other systems things have been more what I expected, and along the lines of what you describe; very rarely, a text character eaten, a timing hiccup makes things slow - suspend again and it's fine - without kernel APM support, about a one in 5 chance that the scheduler will "lose the lottery" and hang and/or barf... with a greater than 50% chance that you still only get 3 or 4 minutes to live, because the app that lost the lottery is now following orders from The Glitch.
