[Grml] Re: Suspend resume bugs

And what's the news?

I gave it:

...

(So USB_CONFIG_SUSPEND may cause issues with hardware devices, which kernel upgrades alone won't fix, only driver upgrades, one per device.)

The news is, grml should probably stop advising kernel upgrades to chase suspend/resume problems. As Linus says, they are 99% driver bugs. Unless the kernel upgrade incorporates new drivers, it won't do much, and will probably add bugs of its own.

Sure, and CONFIG_ACPI "may cause issues with hardware devices" too.

But CONFIG_ACPI is not considered experimental by the kernel devs like USB_CONFIG_SUSPEND.

We're more likely to recompile grml 2.6.20 with our own flags, than upgrade the kernel to 2.6.21. If we do that I'll let everyone know whether it worked.
