I hope you can still access the machine? Thanks to your debug output from comment #29, one can see that: - GPE 27 is triggered (probably the AC General Purpose Event) and the ACPI function _Q27 is executed. - There the function UMCS with a value of 12 is invoked which triggers a System Management Interrupt (function is called SMI) and the machine enters SMM (System Management Mode) and executes BIOS code. This happens behind the OS back. - The next function invoked is a simple Sleep, which is probably to wait for the BIOS code to finish execution Now it hangs. So I very much expect: - there is a bug in the BIOS code, plus: - We might do something different (HW setup? ACPI?) compared to Windows which triggers this bug. It might be that this also happens (on specific conditions?) on Windows. Sankar (and only Sankar as this code fits his BIOS, everyone else who wants to do this test has to upload acpidump of his machine), can you please follow the steps I describe with the attachment upload and try out whether this workarounds the bug and everything is fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
