Description Jón Fairbairn 2007-10-01 16:41:25 UTC
Description of problem:
After hibernate, 
Running yum causes messages of the form "Bad page state in process *"
to be logged.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 (and all the kernels I've tried since
installing f7)

How reproducible:

Fairly -- since it gets in the way of using the machine,
I've not been enthusiastic about doing so.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Hibernate (typically by not noticing that the battery is low!)
2. Resume
3. run yum updage
  
Actual results:

Oct  1 16:42:31 ideogramme kernel:  =======================


Expected results:

Nothing so alarming!

Additional info:

The machine runs happily for weeks if I suspend it rather
than hibernate it, so I don't think there's a hardware
problem (unlike the reporter of bug #240733).

Forgot to say: this is on an IBM thinkpad X30 (26724XG).  I suspect something
quirky in ACPI for hibernate.

Hello,

I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to
isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage

I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can.

There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if
you are still having problems with the latest kernel?

If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a
few days if there is no additional information lodged.

Comment 3 Jón Fairbairn 2008-01-15 17:40:08 UTC
I've been unable (so far) to reproduce the bug with Fedora
8, kernel 2.6.23.9-85.fc8
