The problems of freezes after waking up from suspend continued for me for many months after my comment at the end of 2008. Recently, the computer froze on me at one point and which needed a hard reset. After rebooting, smart monitor (smartmontools) did not report any problems and I completed short and long harddrive checks without encountering any errors.
Hence, opened up the the laptop, took out the harddrive, cleaned the SATA contacts and put it back in. This seemed to improve the situation for some days. However, delays appeared again later on. I was very uncomfortable with this situation and did not trust the harddrive anymore. Hence, I bought a new SSD drive to replace it. While I was at it, I switched from Hardy 8.04 to Jaunty 9.04 (new installation). So far, I haven't had problems anymore. It seems like this problem was caused either by 1) Faulty connections / contacts 2) Bad or dying harddrive 3) Problem with the hardy heron kernel given my setup (SATA controller, harddrive make) Hence, I cannot help to nail down this bug any further. -- ATA exception on resume from sleep https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/159421 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
