From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0; T312461) Description of problem: System hungs when it resumes from standby mode initiated either by BIOS call or user (apm -s). The problem occurs on notebook HP OmniBook 6100 and only when one is battery powered. System hungs when it is executing the hwclock command from /etc/sysconfig/apmscript. The reason is that hwclock can not use /dev/rtc driver when notebook resumed from standby mode. I do not know if it is right but when I use --directisa option for hwclock it all works fine. I also use this option in /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt script in order to exclude system hung during rebooting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Turn AC power off 2. Type apm -s or press standby button 3. Resume noteboot pressing standby button again 4. Then the system is executing hwclock command it hungs Actual Results: The system hungs Additional info: Notebook HP OmniBook 6100 RedHat 7.2
Additional info: kernel 2.4.18 from skipjack SRPM
Assigning to kernel - hangs on accessing /dev/rtc occur there.
