I have a Toshiba Satellite 4100XDVD, using kernel 2.6.3 with the TOSHIBA and TOSHIBA_ACPI kernel modules loaded for ACPI functionality. I am using KLaptop to go to standby/suspend mode. I have the latest KDE, emerge sync ; emerge -uD kde -- gave me 3.2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This is the only way I can reproduce the error, and it happens 100% of the time: 1. Go to suspend or standby mode 2. Come back to normal mode 3. Now KDE runs fine, but artsd is "dead", ps aux shows this: tdot 3395 1.8 3.3 10152 6348 ? D 04:51 0:02 //usr/kde/3.2/bin/artsd -F 6 -S 256 -a alsa -s 60 -m artsmessage .. note that "D" for dead-waiting-on-IO state... 4. Trying a kill or kill -9 will not terminate artsd, and now restarting KDE or logging out to get in with a different user is impossible (KDE hangs on "Starting System Services" if you kill X and try logging in again; if you just try logging out, KDE hangs on a black screen) Actual Results: (listed above) Expected Results: - artsd shouldn't be dead on io none
Yipee! Problem goes away if I boot with "pci=noacpi" kernel parameter.
