I installed linux-image-2.6.27-3-generic=2.6.27-3.4. After spending an
hour fixing things like video drivers that didn't automatically get
updated, and kernel modules that weren't depended on by that package, I
found this:
1. The system went into suspend-to-RAM twice without a problem.
2. The first attempt at waking the system resulted in a blank, powered-off,
non-backlit screen and an unresponsive system.
3. The second attempt at waking the system resulted at in least three
immediate kmem_cache_alloc/null pointer deference kernel Oops'es.
In conclusion, I can't test whether 2.6.27 fixes *this* bug. I am not
going to reboot a frozen kernel over and over again; at the least, that
risks fs corruption. But I do know that it introduces new bugs, and I
feel like I've basically wasted an hour and a half on this. And now I
still have to downgrade all the stuff that I had to upgrade to test this
so my system will work at least as well as it did before I started all
this.
You suggest that I report these new bugs, but how do you recommend I
report pages of kernel oopses? I can't exactly copy and paste them, and
I don't really have time to take photos of them and type them all in by
hand.
