Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-power-manager
I recently installed Ubuntu Gutsy on a HP computer with an AMD64 X2 (4200+) chip. A serious constraint on my using Ubuntu is that I cannot sleep or hibernate it without badly crashing Gnome. The computer does go into sleep and hibernate, but when it wakes up gnome crashes. On wakeup from sleep, for example, the gnome gui is completely gone, the screen has gone into what looks like a terminal, and the following error messages occur (I copied and typed these by hand, so there might be some errors, though I am an accurate typist):
atiixp: coedec reset timeout
pnp failed to activate device 00:09
pnp failed to activate device 00:0a.
ata1.00: ACPI cmd ef/03:46:
ata1.00:
ata1.00: ACPI cmd ef/03:46:
ata1.00: revalidation failed (errno=1)
usb_endpoint usbdev1.1_ep00: PM: resume from 0 parent usb1 still 2
usb_endpoint usbdev1.1_ep81: PM: resume from 0, parent 1-0:1.0 still 2
usb_device usbdev1.1: PM: resume from 0, parent usb1 still 2
There is no command line after these messages. Pressing return does nothing. I then switched terminals using Alt-F2 (which shows a login command line), did nothing, and came back to Alt-F1. Now the earlier messages are gone, but the following displays:
MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC
Loading, please wait...
kinit: name_to_
= sda5(8,5)
kinit: trying to resume from
/dev/disk/
kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot
There is now a login command line, I use it to log into root and use 'shutdown -r now'.
On reboot, problems persist. The Ubuntu splash screen comes up and the load bar starts showing some loading of software, but it pauses very early and nothing happens. I now cannot switch terminals (Alt-F2 does not work) and have to force a shutdown using the power key. On reboot, everything works fine again.

I should add two things: First, this problem is consistently replicable--every time I suspect or hibernate, gnome crashes. Second, the problem first occurred just after I installed Ubuntu, so I think this is not a matter of interactions with software I've since installed. On the Gentoo website, gnome-power- manager- 2.20.1 is hard masked for AMD64, indicating they have run into serious problems w/ that version on AMD64.
