My Z1RMP hangs at drivers/acpi/hardware/hwsleep.c:338 in acpi_hw_register_write(), right after ACPI_FLUSH_CPU_CACHE() . Is there anything I can do to solve this ? I'd be more than happy to start dealing with it, but I have no idea about kernel programming. I can do C, but only for myself :) Is there a recommended way to learn more about this stuff ? The kernel is debian patched 2.6.4 + acpi-20040311-2.6.4.diff + swsusp2 + kdb. Thanks a lot.
