I'm worried that we're looking at a driver issue, meaning, the bug infects all kinds of hardware, not just scanners and disks. If a device driver doesn't handle USB kernel suspend calls, then it breaks. That means a kernel upgrade alone won't solve the problem(s) but only upgrades to all affected drivers. (In our case the USB controller isn't even detected.)
You've been the only one reporting this problem to us and we couldn't reproduce it on any piece of our own "hardware zoo". So it didn't become a release blocker behind kernel freeze date. Sorry for that, Mark - but I'm sure you'll get an updated grml version soon. ;)
So grml 1.0 is taking a high-risk move for rather low yield. It would have been better to push laptop goodies out to 2.6.21 and keep known-good functionality for "everything else."
See above.
I have to go now; I hope people will test USB hardware with 1.0 and/or that kernel upgrade you've posted.
ACK :)
