I have a Toshiba Satellite 1605CDS (laptop). It has a Phoenix BIOS, and an ALi 1541 chipset (aparently with M5229). Relevant 2.5.14 boot info: May 8 04:31:10 paulus agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 122M May 8 04:31:10 paulus agpgart: Detected Ali M1541 chipset May 8 04:31:10 paulus agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xe0000000 May 8 04:31:10 paulus ATA/ATAPI driver v7.0.0 May 8 04:31:10 paulus ATA: system bus speed 33MHz May 8 04:31:10 paulus ATA: interface: Acer Laboratories Inc. [ALi] M5229 IDE, on PCI slot 00:0f.0 May 8 04:31:10 paulus PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 00:0f.0. May 8 04:31:10 paulus ATA: chipset rev.: 32 May 8 04:31:10 paulus ATA: non-legacy mode: IRQ probe delayed May 8 04:31:10 paulus ide0: BM-DMA at 0xfcf0-0xfcf7, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:pio May 8 04:31:10 paulus ide1: BM-DMA at 0xfcf8-0xfcff, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio Anyhow, ever since I've seen the ALi 15xx chipset option (in the kernel IDE chipset-specific config section), that is, since possibly before kernel version 2.4.0, whenever I've enabled the ALi chipset support and then suspend the laptop, the BIOS halts partway through the suspend-to-disk screen (the "Sytem Information" and "Conventional Memory" sections complete the save-to-disk operation, but the "Extended Memory" bar never gets past zero progress; this is all in the "Phoenix NoteBIOS 4.0 Save To Disk Manager" screen, which starts a few screen flickers after calling apm -s. BIOS is set to suspend to disk instead of suspending to RAM). Any ideas what might be causing these problems?
