It appears that Duncan's "total ps2 keyboard lockup from boot" is the
same, or similar problem as mine.
2.6.15.1 kernel is working for me though.

Except one of the keyboards is USB and the other PS/2. Both are
Microsoft wireless, though.

As Ryan observes in his bug, the keyboard and mouse were both plugged into the 
ps2 ports.  Same keyboard, both amd64, both with both the mouse and keyboard 
plugged into the ps2 ports, both with a dead keyboard before rc1. As he says, 
evidence suggests it is indeed the same bug.  Also, we're both on Gentoo, but 
that could simply be due to the fact that Gentoo folks are probably more 
likely to be running rc or even git kernels than most, due to the type of 
distribution it is and GregKH's recently adding mainline git snapshots to the 
package tree to encourage quicker testing.

One discrepancy so far: Ryan mentions git10, implying it failed for him, while 
git10 works here but git11 fails.  My guess is that the USB error he 
originally keyed in on, that turned out to be happening with working kernels 
too, sent him down the wrong path, and git10 will end up working for him.  
Either that or the root issue is something that changed in git10, and then 
again in git11, killing his one day and mine the next, due to the mobo 
differences or something.

This is not a regression, libata suspend/resume has always been crappy. 
  It's under active development (by Randy, among others) to fix this.

It might have always been crappy, but it is a regression since
according to the submitter it is working with 2.6.15.

It might have worked under lucky circumstances with an idle disk and a
goat sacrifice, so I agree with Jeff that this is definitely not a
regression. To my knowledge, Mark always used my libata suspend patch on
earlier kernels so it's not even an apples-apples comparison.

So please scratch that entry.

I'm not certain about this.  It may also have been broken in 2.6.15,
but it (resume) did work fine with 2.6.14.  I've been using Randy's
patches with both 2.6.15 (since -rc?), and 2.6.16-rc.

This is not a regression, since the user is not configuring saa7134 with
the right card.

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1093 bytes --]

What you say is quite correct.

However, my card is not known by the driver, and `card=3' has been working
for me all the while, with no problems at all. In any case, removing
`disable_ir=1' from the insmod options hides the problem for me. By the way,
that option was there since in an an earlier -rc, loading the driver without
it would cause an oops.

If there are any hints about how I might discover the correct parameters for
my card to be added to `saa7134-cards.c' I would love to hear them. I am
tired of the FM radio not working anyway. Next time, I will make sure to
avoid the cheap, brand less cards made in God Knows Where :)

Thanks,
Brian Marete.
