Package: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 Version: 2.6.18-3 Severity: wishlist When installing a new kernel over the currently running one, and suspend to disk is enabled, the system will fail to resume with the newer kernel at resuming time. It would be safer if it was impossible to suspend to disk then. I guess setting some value to /sys/power/resume would do the trick.
More generally, I think there is something wrong with Linux doing suspend to disk in S5 instead of S4. It has great advantages, such as being able to suspend to disk an OS and booting another one, but it very risky when you use filesystems opened by the suspended OS with another one. Another issue is that you have to resume with the exact same kernel that suspended, which is the reason of this bug, but is also a problem for people having more than one kernel installed... Interaction with the bootloader may be something to be worked on... -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-1-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 depends on: ii initramfs-tools [linux-initra 0.84 tools for generating an initramfs ii module-init-tools 3.2.2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii yaird [linux-initramfs-tool] 0.0.12-18 Yet Another mkInitRD Versions of packages linux-image-2.6.18-1-686 recommends: ii libc6-i686 2.3.6.ds1-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries [i -- debconf information: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/bootloader-error-2.6.18-1-686: shared/kernel-image/really-run-bootloader: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/create-kimage-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/initrd-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/abort-overwrite-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/elilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-686: true * linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/already-running-this-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/lilo-has-ramdisk: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/bootloader-test-error-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/depmod-error-2.6.18-1-686: false linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-dir-initrd-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/overwriting-modules-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/failed-to-move-modules-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/lilo-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/prerm/removing-running-kernel-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/old-system-map-link-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/prerm/would-invalidate-boot-loader-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/bootloader-initrd-2.6.18-1-686: true linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/preinst/abort-install-2.6.18-1-686: linux-image-2.6.18-1-686/postinst/kimage-is-a-directory: -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
