Hi All,

Suspend-to-mem and resume seem to work fine, but I get a few odd ACPI
messages in dmesg. Is this of interest to anyone?

[  188.914261] ACPI Exception: AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT, Index (000000005)
is beyond end of object 20090521 exoparg2-445
[  188.914278] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed
[\_SB_.C248] (Node f701a6d8), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT
[  188.914344] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): Method parse/execution failed
[\_SB_.C002.C0DE.C354._STM] (Node f701d780), AE_AML_PACKAGE_LIMIT
[  188.914415] ata5: ACPI set timing mode failed (status=0x300b)


Kernel: 2.6.31-rc9
Distro: ubuntu 09.04
Hardware: Compaq nc8430 laptop
CPU: core duo T2500

These messages are generated every time I run
   echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
although otherwise the suspend/resume seems 100% ok.

I'm happy to provide more info or run tests if anyone wants me to.

Regards, Simon

Could you attach the acpidump output?

Rather than send a 300kb attachment, I have put the relevant file here:
  http://people.apache.org/~skitching/acpidump.txt

Thanks for taking an interest.

I think this is a BIOS defect.  Frans Pop reported the same
problem earlier on a Compaq 2510p.  I poked our notebook BIOS
people about it, but since these are fairly old notebooks and
we haven't seen any real problem (other than the error messages),
there's not much interest in fixing it.  Sorry; I wish I had a
better answer.

Well, if this is due to a defective BIOS, then not much can be done;
there certainly isn't much point in releasing new BIOS versions for
3-year-old systems. I posted mainly because it might indicate a Linux
ACPI implementation bug that could be fixed.

Hopefully in future BIOS makers will try boot/suspend/resume tests with
Linux before shipping :-)

Thanks to you all.

Regards, Simon
