Indeed, critial is more appropriate, as this bug causes data loss and hardware damage. IMO, the sitation is similar to bug #404143: like Andi said there: > Consider you have bought such a laptop, and you install Debian. You have > even read the release notes first.

I can very well imagine that you guys don't want to include these patches in the default etch kernel at this time, but please document it in the release notes, make the kernel refuse to run on this hardware, or make the user aware of the problem in some other way. -- Kind regards, ++ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | || Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | ++ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

retitle 400488 no fans after S3 sleep on several HP laptop models thanks Hi, > With the kernel from linux-image-2.6.18-2-686, fans for my laptop > (HP nc6120) don't work anymore after an S3 suspend/resume cycle. Did this work with older kernels? > I can very well imagine that you guys don't want to include these > patches in the default etch kernel at this time There is quite a few patches in that bugreport, and atleast some of them seem to cause regressions. If you can provide a patch agains debian's kernel version, and you are confident it will not break anyone elses system, the patch will be much more likely considered. Updating title since the kernel.org bugreport does not mention any non-HP laptops affected. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, I've been running I kernel with the patches from the upstream bug report and the other ralated issue #5534 (upstream), #404143 (debian), and that seems to work perfectly here. The patches are: - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9255&action=view - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9337&action=view - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=8951&action=view - http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=8952&action=view The last of those seems to have been superseded by http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=9746&action=view (see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5534). I'm not at all a kernel expert, and I really can't say anything about the stability of these pacthes, except that they work for me.

Bug#400488: no fans after S3 sleep on many laptops
Package: linux-image-2.6.18-2-686 Version: 2.6.18-5 Severity: grave With the kernel from linux-image-2.6.18-2-686, fans for my laptop (HP nc6120) don't work anymore after an S3 suspend/resume cycle. This causes the system to spontaneously shutdown under load causing data loss (or posibly it might even break the hardware), ergo the grave severity. This issue is known by kernel upstream [1], and is at least partly fixed in 2.6.19-rc4. I've been using the patches of [1] on my Ubuntu install on this same laptop (just switched it over to debian yesterday) for weeks, and they fixed the problem for me. I propose that these patches are applied for etches default kernel.

There is no commit in the linus tree. The comments also said something about acpi-test. Bastian -- Beam me up, Scotty! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
