Comment 1 David Milburn 2009-02-27 19:08:03 UTC
Hello,

I did a quick test on x86_64 system with RHEL 5.3 (2.6.18-128.el5) on a SAS
disk, the suspend/resume worked correctly. However, when I installed and
booted the 2.6.18-8.el5 kernel the system did get a softlockup during suspend,
this is more likely a power management or acpi bug rather than a sata bug.
I will need to review the power management and acpi changes between the -8.el5
kernel and the -128.el5 kernel, it is very possible that the problem you are
seeing has been addressed in a later kernel.

Comment 2 Larry Troan 2009-03-13 15:25:33 UTC
Suggest you try the 5.3 kernel as well to see if the problem still occurs. Per comment #1, it appears this may have been fixed. 

Please report results here.

There were major changes in the power management code in 5.1 to support notebooks and minor changes in 5.2 and 5.3 as well.

Comment 3 Larry Troan 2009-07-31 12:38:49 UTC
DUPing to bug 490192 since this is where all the activity has occurred.
