Re: USB & ACPI getting better but not quite there - IBM T42p

Hi,

I was delighted to see that my laptop now wakes up fine when booted from
an external USB disk with 6.1-RC1 (actually RELENG_6_1 supped
yesterday). I had inadvertently suspended, and it did come back up when
hitting the power switch!

Hmm, I regret to follow up that this only works in rare cases. Most of
the time the machine hangs during suspend, or runs into USB timeouts
(umass0: BBB reset failed, TIMEOUT), or both -- I'm not sure, I may have
been impatient before seeing the USB timeout message sometimes.

Also on one occasion where the suspend did work I then power cycled the
disk before resume, and then at resume I got a panic about not being
able to access the disk.

So I guess I was wrong with about 98% of my statements :-( -- it
doesn't work yet.

Regards,
Georg.
