Description Nathan 2012-04-10 00:16:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
ehci_hcd and xhci_hcd are known to cause problems when suspending to ram. Therefore they shouldn't be built into the default kernel, but instead loaded as modules, allowing pm-suspend to suspend them before suspending to ram.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1.use the fedora kernel
2.suspend to ram
  
Actual results:
Crash

Expected results:
Suspend to ram

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2012-04-11 17:19:28 UTC 
the real fix is going to be figuring out what needs to change in the usb drivers to correctly handle suspend/resume.

We can't make them modular without breaking things like usb serial console, and other usb devices that are needed in early boot.
