| |
Out of current discussion I tried using s2ram on patched kernel (I did not try s2ram earlier, my problem was (un)plugging HDMI - some ACPI code probably).
Corruption output is quite huge, I attached it to bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11237 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=17526
I do not know much about current discussion and fact if checking for corruption should be enabled by default.
However, please note that end-user will not able to diagnose that Linux doesn't work on his machine because of less-or-more broken BIOS. He will not get to know that he needs to enable bios_corruption_check=1 and edit grub to make it default.
I understand that disabling chunk of RAM on every, even not affected, machine is far from perfect, but we have to remember about not advanced end-users.
