It looks like around six different people on: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118751 say that moving from 38.5 to 38.6 makes their system crash at boot or resume time if they have an SD card inserted -- this seems like reasonably strong evidence, and the problem being seen after the patch (full system crash) is significantly worse than the problem being seen before the patch (occasional misdetection of insertion). > Have you got a .config from the OP? Yes, http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/kernel26/repos/core-x86_64/config.x86_64. I checked that it does indeed have CLKGATE=y. > We can also fix the problem in stable - whether it turns out to be my > patch or not.

My intuition is that we should revert it now -- it's been a week since the final -rc, so you'd expect .39 to be released today, and we can always add your patch back into stable via .40-rc1 if it's not related to the crashes. > No, I don't have archlinux on it.

All reporters so far use Archlinux, but it's quite plausible that we're only seeing the bug from Archlinux users because only Archlinux has pushed out 2.6.38.6 to its users already..
