As you can see from the heading, I'm having more general problem with hibernation. I'm using an MSI S 250 and I have these lock-ups as well with AC-power and when running on battery. I have Dapper Flight 6. uname -rv: 2.6.15-20-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Apr 4 18:37:00 UTC 2006 I thought first that the machine just stops responding and after a few minutes shut it down with the power button. Then I read your posts and knew to wait a little longer and indeed the machine does hibernate after an insanely long time. It takes something like ten minutes to do so. This doesn't happen every time, but approximately every second or third time, I would say. Moreover, I would like to know what happened to that password-protection we had in Breezy? My machine doesn't ask for a password when it wakes from hibernation. I would like it to do so, for security reasons - now anybody can continue my session and access all my data without any hacking. The following info is gathered by continuously suspending (by closing the lid) and resuming. I let 5 minutes pass between each event so I can track them easily from the logs.

Note: that Brltty just popped from somewhere during the last update. Don't need it nor use it. /dev/ttyS0 was the default location for it. Hope that this info can be useful to someone (fingers crossed) =) Mikko
