Hi list!
I recently updated from tuxonice-2.6.24-r9 to tuxonice-2.6.26.
I hoped it would solve irregular kernel crashes on my Dell notebook and
would reactivate the wifi LED. However, it caused more problems than it
solved.
- the pvrusb2 (V4L2) kernel module works but causes kernel panics and oops
- the bay (ACPI) module can't be loaded
- suddenly Thunderbird disappears on suspend2disk/resume
- the RFKILL switch is not always recognized (needs interface restart)
- iwlwifi sometimes causes (non-critical) kernel oops when initialized
- the wifi LED still doesn't work
The first three points will need more investigation on my part and might
soon be the topic of other threads. However, I'd like to hear your input
on the other issues:
Is this kernel version generally unstable?
What do I need to make the LED work?
What could I do to solve all these problems? I'm out of ideas at the
moment and Gentoo Bugzilla doesn't offer much on these topics.
I've attached the kernel config and a part of dmesg where iwlwifi caused
an oops after I've restarted the net.eth1 script but then it worked
flawlessly.
Thanks in advance!
Florian Philipp
