Description Morgan Leijström 2012-01-16 22:22:43 CET
Description of problem:

Sometimes the system seem not to react when i get back to it after a while;
I move mouse, tap keyboard, but screen is still black
Sometimes it wakes up if i salute it Ctrl-Alt-F12, and i can get back to other terminals including KDE issuing  Ctrl-Alt-Fx
But sometimes i need to power cycle.
Actually, if i put in a USB memory it seem to aces it (blinks) but screen is dead.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mga1 fully updated, running KDE


How reproducible:
about four times a week without irqpoll
never with irqpoll.


Steps to Reproduce:
1) Go have lunch, end work day
 (and computer powers off screen, locks screen)
2) Get back to a sometimes "dead" computer
3) "Did i save my documents"?!
4) Doh!


Traces:

Without irqpoll, occasionally i recieve in all terminals the message
    Message from syslogd@svarten at Nov 29 15:44:16 ...
    kernel:Disabling IRQ #17


From log:
    kernel: irq 17: nobody cared (try booting with the "irqpoll" option)

So i added irqpoll to boot line, and never saw it again for weeks, neither the behaviour nor hangup.
To test, i removed irqpoll and within a day i got hit with a hangup.

I also see the disabled irq problem. I have screen saver disabled so I can not comment on that part of the problem.

Comment 8 Manuel Hiebel 2012-11-05 16:51:14 CET
This message is a reminder that Mageia 1 is nearing its end of life. 
In approximately 25 days from now, Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing 
updates for Mageia 1. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it 
remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '1'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to 
fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later 
Mageia version prior to Mageia 1's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not 
be able to fix it before Mageia 1 is end of life.  If you would still like to see 
this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, 
you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version 
of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, 
sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia 
release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 9 Manuel Hiebel 2012-12-02 14:31:18 CET
Mageia 1 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''1st December''. Mageia 1 is no 
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or 
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. 

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia 
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
