I'll be happy to file it on bugzilla, but I was a bit reluctant as I have to admit that I am no longer bleading edge (this is my "real work" system and I sorely need swsusp2 working under 2.6.x before I upgrade). I *WILL* experiment if anyone has any specific ideas on how to get this to work, but I don't really expect to NEED the GSM card until late spring - and I expect to go 2.6.x before then. [ Original description follows: ] I've encountered a problem which I *THINK* i ACPI related, but I've not enough ACPI experience to understand how to get around it. Any hint appreciated. I'll file it as a proper kernel bug if you think it more appropriate. Here is a quick rundown of what I've found out: * My base installation is described pretty detailed here: http://www.xms.se/~zap/linux/asusl5800c.html As you can see it has worked pretty well for quite some time and hence my kernel etc is not quite bleading edge anymore (though I follow Debian testing for everyting else). * $ cat /proc/acpi/info version: 20030813 states: S0 S1 S3 S4 (swsusp) S5 The problem I've encountered lately is related to using a Nokia CardPhone in my PCMCIA slot. Several other cards have work OKish - at worst, an ethernet card wouldn't work at all (forgot the name, but it was multifunction and was iffy anyway) and in one case a wavelan card (orinoco) would only work in the upper slot. This is significantly worse: Initially I just plugged it in without a SIM card and got some "Resource unavailable" problems - fiddling with the /etc/pcmcia/config-2.4 file appeared to help, though it was somewhat odd that specifying low IRQs (say 4,5,6) still reported 10 or 11 in dmesg, but at least it appeared to work. I now also tried with a SIM card in place and noticed that the FAN would stop a short while after inserting the card (I can hear the GSM negotiations as noises in the speakers) when some IRQs where used and then I had messages such as these in dmesg: ttyS17 at port 0x0100 (irq = 11) is a 16550A Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000100-00000107> Trying to free nonexistent resource <00000100-00000107> ACPI-1121: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_TZ_.FAN0._INI] (Node dffe9520), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT ACPI-1121: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_GPE._L16] (Node dffe28a0), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT ACPI-0297: *** Error: AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT while evaluating method [_L16] for GPE[ 0] ACPI-1121: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_TZ_.FAN0._INI] (Node dffe9520), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT ACPI-1121: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_GPE._L16] (Node dffe28a0), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT ACPI-0297: *** Error: AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT while evaluating method [_L16] for GPE[ 0] ttyS17 unloaded Unplugging the card before the temperature gets too high seems to help as the fan restarts typically after less than a minute. I then tried acpidump and alltough I don't really understand all of it, it sure hinted that an _INI method for FAN0 which may be called from _L16 within the _GPE scope, but I can't really see how this should suddenly stop working when I plug that particular card in. Still, some combos of IRQs and port selections appeared to work at the time and I would be able dial up using minicom and/or kppp. At this stage I realized that debian demends that I'm part of the dip group and for sanity reasons I decided to logout and reboot to make sure everything was in a sane state - apparently it wasn't: kppp will now sort of seem to work and the fan will run OK, but after a minute or so the system will suddenly go wild: - In one case, X died and I could only type (but got no response) in the old X vt. - In another case, X again died and a few messages flashed past too quickly to read and then it was powered off. - In a third case, a lot of info flashed past in an Oops dump (sorry, wan't able to catch it). To me it seems to be some kind of ACPI/PCMICA clash, but I have no clue how to solve it. I had intended to wait for a couple of more weeks before going 2.6.x as swsusp is somewhat critical to my daily work and it seems not quite stable for 2.6 yet (considering even Nigel himself runs 2.4 for development...)
