Dell M4400 crashes hard on closing and opening lid. WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.31/kernel/power/suspend_test.c:52 suspend_test_finish+0x7c/0x80()

[Shahar Goldin]

bug #417842 seems to be a similar problem with very different hardware. In this case, every time I close the lid of this laptop (Dell Precision M4400, specs should be automatically attached), it kernel panics and never comes back.

Hi, I'd just like to note that this stopped happening as soon as the nvidia drivers were installed, however there's some really obnoxious behavior that happens as a result of installing the nvidia drivers, namely that you have to run nvidia-settings before and after docking the laptop, every time you want to dock or undock the laptop.

Hi Shahar,

The warning reported here typically indicates that it took longer for your system to resume from suspend than expected. I believe there is a 5 sec barrier which your system likely exceeded. Typically you'll see something similar to "PM: resume devices took 8.664 seconds" in your dmesg output when this happens. A patch to prevent this warning has been applied via bug 464552. As a result I'm marking this as a duplicate to bug 464552. Please continue to track this issue at that report. Thanks!
