5 Kernel panic: Attempted to kill the idle task! - ID: 985021
Last Update: Comment added ( bernardb )

Hi folks !

just wanted to try swsusp2 with a brand new gentoo
install... works fine (?), but a get a kernel panic on
the inital suspend. If i suspend the resumed session
again, this does not happen... i goes because the idle
task is already dead ? ;-)
i will post my /var/log/messages. Sorry for the volume,
but i though that some hardware-information might help you.

kernel is gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.7-r8 sususp2 is
2.0.0.93-for-2.6.7. I did not apply the 11-bootsplash-*
patches, as they are already included in gentoo-kernel.
I got 3 failed hunks, which were all easy to fix...
(some comments where added, etc... i promise i just
copied line ;-)

ok, here the syslog...

best regards, Jens

It's probably a combination of the module with your
hardware. If you can run the oops through ksymoops and send
the result to acpi-devel or lkml (and tell them it occurs
when unloading the module), they can hopefully do something
about it.

Closing the bug :)

Thanks bernard ! you were right... it is the module
"processor" from acpi that caused the kernel panic. I now
compiled it in the kernel and thinks seem to work well. Are
there more problems know with ACPI or is it just my
BIOS/hardware/whatever ?

It looks to me also like it's occuring while modules are
being unloaded. Most likely is that one of your loaded
modules doesn't unload cleanly. Try simply running "echo >
/proc/swsusp/activate" to see if that suspends and resumes
fine. If so, then grab the newest suspend script from the
sourceforge download page (0.94) which doesn't unload
modules by default.

You can identify which module isn't unloading cleanly by
doing an "lsmod", then rmmod each one of the modules that
you can, one by one, until you get the kernel panic. You'll
probably find it's specific to the gentoo kernel, so best
tell them about it :)

Sorry, but it is imo related to swsusp. The kernel panic is
reproducable and always happens when calling the
hibernate-script. I did the following multiple times with
always the same result

1. boot
2. call /usr/local/sbin/hibernate (21:20:00 in the log)
--> kernel panic, but system shuts down ok
3. resume
4. hibernate again.

In step 4 a kernel panic never accours. It just panics when
hibernating a "fresh" booted system.
Apart from this, the system is stable and runs fine multiple
days.

regards, Jens

Hi.

Is there any chance that this isn't suspend related? It doesn't look to be

from the trace you provided.

Regards,

Nigel
