Suspend2 + SATA resume on 2.6.14?
Anyone got suspend-to-RAM (with the 3rd patch from Problems with SATA and Linux) and Suspend2 working with kernel 2.6.14? It's "either, or" for me, when using both patches I get rather nasty looking kernel oops when hibernating...

Yes, it works fine for me on a T43. Are you using the latest Suspend2? Did you try hibernating from single mode, or even from init=/bin/sh mode, to make sure it's not a driver issue?

Yes, latest 2.2-rc9 for 2.6.14. Basically it works, the notebook just doesn't power off at the end of suspending, but when running with all the debugging options turned on I got an oops in xfsbufd, so maybe it has something to do with me using xfs. What filesystem types are you using?
Haven't retried after that, bit scared about losing data, don't have time to reinstall everything atm. Once I got a bit more spare time I'll give it another go. suspend 2.1.9.5 for 2.6.12 worked fine, so I suppose it's not driver issue.

Oh, and I get that power off issue too, but it otherwise works and I didn't try enabling debug. I'm using ext3 in this machine (it got the most testing, so probably a good choice given all the oddball software and hardware in laptops). Are you using the file writer to hibernate to a file on xfs? There was a recent post by the developer about this being broken.

Once I have time and scheduled IBM to replace my harddisk (the whining sounds it makes is really getting on my nerves, why get a 5400rpm drive if it's that loud?) I'll probably setup the system with ext3 and reinstall from the latest backup. Not using the filewriter btw.
Regarding the power off issue, changing the PoweroffMethod to 3 helps. Oh, and does your machine beep at suspend and resume (once each time) and didn't with older suspend2 versions? Mine did. Oh well, doesn't matter atm.
