hibernate crashes 3.2.0-0.bpo.2-686-pae

Hi,

I've been getting crashes during hibernate (in-kernel suspend to disk) 
with many kernels, including the above which I'm using now. System is 
mainly Debian stable, but with some backports/testing. root and boot are 
xfs, not on LVM, separate partitions. usr, home, tmp, opt, var are xfs 
on LVM. i3 system, not using onboard graphics or loading i915 module. 
nvidia GeForce 210 card and proprietary modules were 
295.49-1~bpo60+1+b1_i386 (Just updated today to 295.59-1~bpo60+2, so 
will be seeing if that makes any difference). Usually when a crash 
happens get the Snapshotting System line, then failure. Keyboard 
unresponsive, no flashing LEDs, have to hard power off. I've got a 
couple of recent photos, and an older one from a couple of months ago 
(only the end of the text still on screen), attached of the output, as 
there is no logging of this. Crashes perhaps 2/5 of the time, perhaps 
more likely when more memory is being used. 4GB installed. Resume hasn't 
crashed.

Happy to supply dmesg or other details or do any testing you may want.

Thanks you,
Arthur

The kernel team does not maintain nvidia or other out-of-tree
modules.

Hi Ben,

Sure. I don't know whether the issue is connected to those modules. I 
only mentioned then to try to give some key descriptors of the system, 
as it might be that there was a known issue for example, that I'd been 
unable to find when I searched. I understand that they can be culprits, 
and that you all have no control over them.

Do the photos tell you or others anything useful? Should I try running 
with say the nouveau drivers and see if the problem is eliminated? I'm 
only trying to ascertain what the issue is and see if it can be fixed.

Yes.  If the problem remains, then feel free to report a bug.

If it does, did this also happen with version 3.2.16-1?  If you're not
sure, you can still get it from
<http://snapshot.debian.org/package/linux-2.6/3.2.16-1/>.

I say we take off; nuke the site from orbit.  It's the only way to be sure.
