Kernel 2.6.7 Oops when suspending

[Matthias G. <mat...@ht...>]

Hi,
Recently a problem occured when pressing the power key to suspend the
machine on kernel 2.6.7. This might be interesting for some of you so
I forwarded the mail describing the problem and attach a second that
explain the solution:

Hi.

I am running kernel 2.6.7 vanilla on an iBook G3 800 MHZ (rev. 2.2
afaik). When I suspend the iBook (or when it tries for itself) I get a
(long) kernel oops.

Here you are the kernel oops:

[... , register dump removed, MG]

Any hints?

I have found, thanks to Warren A. Layton (zeevon at debian dot org) from
the debian-powerpc list, the solution of the problem. The kernel config
parameter CONFIG_SERIAL_PMACZILOG has to be deselected. It seems it's a
bug from the kernel which is not yet solved as of 2.6.7.
