options module crashes, thus cannot suspend my vaio vgn-tz190n

[Steve Alexander]

The confusingly named "options" module, that is for integrated GSM modems connected via USB, crashes on start-up. So, suspend and hibernate do not work, because the four "options" processes cannot be refrigerated.

Blacklisting "options" allows the machine to suspend and resume with "sudo pm-suspend".

Even when "options" is blacklisted, gnome power manager does not present buttons to suspend or hibernate. I'll file a bug on gnome power manager about this.

The machine is a sony vaio VGN-TZ190N, with the latest dev version of Karmic.

Hi Steve,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.
