Unfortunately, it looks like a BIOS issue to me at this point. Looking at Tom's logs I get:
[1266874884.830945] ACPI Error: Hardware did not change modes (20090903/hwacpi-144) [1266874884.830954] ACPI Error: Could not transition to ACPI mode (20090903/evxfevnt-93) On my T410 I get the same. This error occurs when the kernel ACPI driver attempts to transition to ACPI mode by writing ACPI_ENABLE to the SMI_CMD port but fails. This is dependant on the FADT containing the correct ACPI_ENABLE and/or ACPI_DISABLE values - I've disassembled the FADT and they are 0xf0 and 0xf1 respectively which means they are defined according to ACPI 2.0. One possibility of the transition to ACPI mode failing is that hardware is taking more than the 3 seconds allowed or that the FADT contains the wrong values, the latter is very unlikely. It is noteworthy that the BIOS should have disabled all GP events by the time the transition occurs - if it hasn't transitioned correctly, perhaps these are still enabled causing a huge number of IRQ's on line 9 which causes the later error message: irq 9: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option) this seems to happen when the IRQ handler detects more than 99900 unhandled IRQs. I will debug the mode transition code to see if I can tease a little more out of this bug, but it looks like a firmware problem at this stage. -- Lenovo Thinkpads with Core i5 and i7 suspend/resume (with kernel oops) once then fail horribly on next suspend https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532374 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
