Description of problem: Without blacklisting b44 modules, thaw hangs on Dell Inspiron 6400. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hibernate. 2. Thaw. Actual results: Kernel hangs. Expected results: This used to work in FC6. Additional info: Blacklisting the module works around the problem. Suspend doesn't work correctly on this notebook (machine in painfully slow on resume), so I'm not using that at all.
Reassigning to pm-utils.
i checked it on f8 with kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8, and it seems kernel bug. with b44 blacklisted everything is ok. with b44 loaded resume from suspend/hibernate hang with black screen and no error messages i tried kernel-2.6.24-0.73.rc4.git1.fc9. with this kernel my notebook HP nx6310 trying to resume from hibernate, but something goes wrong and it hangs :( I don't know how to debug this problem
[timon@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules SUSPEND_MODULES="kvm_intel kvm iwl3945 b44" this works for me
Imho the module should be fixed to make it work with hibernate, this needs to be done in the kernel.
This is wireless so re-assigning as per: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage It might also be worth testing with a rawhide kernel if you are able - as far as I understand it this driver is still undergoing heavy development. Cheers Chris
b44 is not wireless -- FYI Still, it would probably come to me anyway. So, I'll see what I can do...

hmmmmm, tg3 had a problem with suspend/resume recently commit 3e0c95fd648c0d3175b9ff2232597d0b02eb7d46 Author: Michael Chan <mchan> Date: Fri Aug 3 20:56:54 2007 -0700 [TG3]: Fix suspend/resume problem. in that case a reload of the tg3 driver fixed all problems. Maybe some ssb bus wrangling is needed in this case....
it seems this bug was fixed in 2.6.24, because fc8 with 2.6.24-2.fc9 kernel suspend/hibernate and resume fine laptop hp nx6310
