It's still present in v2.6.30-rc1-136-g62b8e68, which includes "module:
try_then_request_module must wait".

I don't think it's due to a missing module, because it doesn't happen if
I run "s2disk" from a console without logging in to KDE. I've put some
more details in Bugzilla about how it is reproduced (and what makes it
go away), it's a bit confusing.

But so long as I get the conditions right, it reproduces 100%. I'm going
to just try bisecting it - unless anyone has any more suggestions.

Thanks
