Public bug reported:
On this Dell D600 laptop, if I kill the hald-addon-storage process
immediately after booting I can suspend and hibernate as many times as I
like. I can also hotswap the removable CDRW/DVD without locking up the
system. If I suspend without killing hald-addon-storage, it works the
first time. About half the time after waking up, the hald-addon-storage
process is D instead of S in the output of ps, meaning it is an
uninterruptible sleep process. If that happens, I can sometimes get it
to change to S (interruptable sleep) by ejecting and re-inserting a CD.
If I use the ati (open source) graphics drivers, I can continue to sleep
and wake as long as the process is not D when I suspend. If I use the
fglrx (closed source) driver, I can only wake up once correctly if I
suspend with the hald-addon-storage process is running when I suspend,
even if the process is S. If I boot with the CD/DVD rom not inserted in
the side of the laptop, I can suspend as many times as I like.
I would be glad to test more if it is helpful.
