Bug Description

[Problem]
Resume from suspend triggers a kernel oops due to the radeon kms module taking more than 10 seconds to resume

[Discussion]
When resuming from the suspend state, a popup box is displayed indicating an error has occured and "Your system might become unstable now and might need to be restarted.". In the dmesg output, the following lines are present before the kernel oops, showing that the radeon driver took 11408.919 msecs to resume and the kernel oops is due to resume taking longer than 10 seconds total (11430 msecs).

Interesting lines in the dmesg output when the error occurs are below (with kernel.drm=0x04 set, adding a bit of verbosity when the radeon driver is restoring):

Upon investigating further, it looks like portions of the the following workarounds were discovered that allow resume from suspend to work as expected, by avoid the radeon driver:

[Workarounds]
1. Add "nomodeset" to the linux command line in grub
2. Use the proprietary FGLRX driver.

[System Environment]
ASUS 1215T running a fresh install of 11.04 beta or 11.04 beta2.

[Original Report]
Hi, when I resume from a suspend on ubuntu 11.04 beta, this problem occures. I still can use my laptop without problem but seems like there is something wrong anyway.

I am sceptical about those lines in dmesg, I do not use the latest BIOS, but asus does not mention that any firmware was updated except Embeded Controller in version 303, I think I have BIOS v305.

1334.660031] atl1c 0000:03:00.0: vpd r/w failed. This is likely a firmware bug on this device. Contact the card vendor for a firmware update.ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] - 0x31, should be 0x1C (20110112/tbutils-314)
[ 1336.215430] ACPI Warning: Incorrect checksum in table [OEMB] - 0x31, should be 0x1C (20110112/tbutils-314)

Maybe should I try with the free wifi driver instead of Broadcom's ?? I also installed Jupiter from PPA, could this be the problem?
This problem didn't occure on Ubuntu 10.10 but I cannot say if this was only because I didn't notice, since the computer is still usable after the "crash".

I removed Jupiter and Drobox and removed the broadcom driver, but the problem still occures. I also removed indicator-weather since it crashes after a suspend (probably related). The crash still occures anyway, here is the new dmesg.

I also see the same error message on my 1215T after upgrading from 10.10, where resuming from suspend previously worked.

Was able to get resume from suspend working by adding "nomodeset" to the kernel options in grub at startup (added it to the end of the line beginning with linux and booted). However, this breaks the user interface somewhat, causing it to go into classic mode. Seeing if I can find a workaround that will allow resume from suspend to work that is a bit less invasive.

I tried your workaround and it worked for me, without the problem of "breaking user interface" ... I edited /etc/default/grub, I modified this variable

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="nomodeset"

as you suggested. This gives this line in /boot/grub/grub.cfg after a "sudo update-grub" :

linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=UUID=9c1af1ad-9e7c-463f-8720-5442141639e9 ro nomodeset quiet splash vt.handoff=7

I see no issue after a suspend and even hibernation seems to work. I can attach a dmesg log or my grub conf or anything if you want. Just ask.

Thank you.

Looked into this a bit more and tried turning on additional debugging information for kms by adding "drm.kernel=0x04" to the grub cmdline. The dmesg output is attached.

It looks like the issue is a warning generated around 78.3302, containing the text "WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.38/kernel/power/suspend_test.c:53 suspend_test_finish+0x86/0x90()", while the radeon module is resuming.

Using the proprietary fglrx driver also resolves the error on resume from suspend

Hey bass-dr,

You filed this bug report against natty, but I see it's still open and
doesn't appear to have much activity recently. So, now that oneiric
is released and stable, this may be a good point for you to upgrade
and re-test if this issue is still present there.

If it's solved in the new release and you think it's worth backporting
the fix, please indicate that. Or if having the fix in the new release
is good enough, feel free to close out the bug (or let us know and we'll
close it.)

If it's not solved, leave the bug report open. I can't promise we'll
get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but
your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do.
