I'm not much good with x86 assembly either :-) I think that in both cases below, you're right after enabling interrupts and about to exit the idle routine. My guess is the system is not really hung; it just doesn't think it has anything to do and is spending all its time in the idle loop. > 00001bd0 <acpi_idle_enter_bm>: > > ... > 00001bd0 + 0x1df = 00001daf > ... > 1d70: b8 03 00 00 00 mov $0x3,%eax > 1d75: e8 90 f3 ff ff call 110a <tsc_halts_in_c> > 1d7a: 85 c0 test %eax,%eax > 1d7c: 74 0a je 1d88 <acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x1b8> > 1d7e: b8 0e 09 00 00 mov $0x90e,%eax > 1d7f: R_386_32 .rodata.str1.1 > 1d83: e8 fc ff ff ff call 1d84 <acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x1b4> > 1d84: R_386_PC32 mark_tsc_unstable > 1d88: 8b 45 e8 mov -0x18(%ebp),%eax > 1d8b: 8b 55 ec mov -0x14(%ebp),%edx > 1d8e: e8 ab fd ff ff call 1b3e <us_to_pm_timer_ticks> > 1d93: 89 c3 mov %eax,%ebx > 1d95: b8 17 01 00 00 mov $0x117,%eax > 1d9a: 69 ca 17 01 00 00 imul $0x117,%edx,%ecx > 1da0: 89 d6 mov %edx,%esi > 1da2: f7 e3 mul %ebx > 1da4: 8d 14 11 lea (%ecx,%edx,1),%edx > 1da7: e8 fc ff ff ff call 1da8 <acpi_idle_enter_bm+0x1d8> > 1da8: R_386_PC32 sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event > 1dac: fb sti > 1dad: 89 e0 mov %esp,%eax > -> 1daf: 31 c9 xor %ecx,%ecx <--------- > 1db1: 25 00 e0 ff ff and $0xffffe000,%eax > 1db6: 89 fa mov %edi,%edx > 1db8: 83 48 0c 04 orl $0x4,0xc(%eax) > 1dbc: ff 47 18 incl 0x18(%edi) > 1dbf: 8b 45 e4 mov -0x1c(%ebp),%eax > 1dc2: e8 a4 f5 ff ff call 136b <acpi_state_timer_broadcast> > 1dc7: 01 5f 1c add %ebx,0x1c(%edi) > 1dca: 11 77 20 adc %esi,0x20(%edi) > 1dcd: 8b 45 e8 mov -0x18(%ebp),%eax > 1dd0: 83 c4 10 add $0x10,%esp > 1dd3: 5b pop %ebx > 1dd4: 5e pop %esi > 1dd5: 5f pop %edi > 1dd6: 5d pop %ebp > 1dd7: c3 ret > > > If you blacklist or rename the processor module to prevent it > > from loading, does that keep the hang from occurring? > > No. In that case I get the hang in default_idle+0x59/0x95 > > 0000007a <default_idle>: > 7a: 55 push %ebp > 7b: 89 e5 mov %esp,%ebp > 7d: 56 push %esi > 7e: 53 push %ebx > 7f: 83 ec 18 sub $0x18,%esp > 82: 83 3d 18 00 00 00 00 cmpl $0x0,0x18 > 84: R_386_32 .bss > 89: 75 7a jne 105 <default_idle+0x8b> > 8b: 80 3d 05 00 00 00 00 cmpb $0x0,0x5 > 8d: R_386_32 boot_cpu_data > 92: 74 71 je 105 <default_idle+0x8b> > 94: 83 3d 04 00 00 00 00 cmpl $0x0,0x4 > 96: R_386_32 __tracepoint_power_start > 9b: 74 23 je c0 <default_idle+0x46> > 9d: 8b 1d 08 00 00 00 mov 0x8,%ebx > 9f: R_386_32 __tracepoint_power_start > a3: 85 db test %ebx,%ebx > a5: 74 19 je c0 <default_idle+0x46> > a7: 8d 75 e0 lea -0x20(%ebp),%esi > aa: b9 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%ecx > af: ba 01 00 00 00 mov $0x1,%edx > b4: 89 f0 mov %esi,%eax > b6: ff 13 call *(%ebx) > b8: 83 c3 04 add $0x4,%ebx > bb: 83 3b 00 cmpl $0x0,(%ebx) > be: 75 ea jne aa <default_idle+0x30> > c0: 89 e0 mov %esp,%eax > c2: 25 00 e0 ff ff and $0xffffe000,%eax > c7: 83 60 0c fb andl $0xfffffffb,0xc(%eax) > cb: f6 40 08 08 testb $0x8,0x8(%eax) > cf: 75 04 jne d5 <default_idle+0x5b> > d1: fb sti > d2: f4 hlt > --> d3: eb 01 jmp d6 <default_idle+0x5c> <-------- > d5: fb sti > d6: 89 e0 mov %esp,%eax > d8: 25 00 e0 ff ff and $0xffffe000,%eax > dd: 83 48 0c 04 orl $0x4,0xc(%eax) > e1: 83 3d 04 00 00 00 00 cmpl $0x0,0x4 > e3: R_386_32 __tracepoint_power_end > e8: 74 1e je 108 <default_idle+0x8e> > > > >> 7ec0a7290797f57b780f792d12f4bcc19c83aa4f is first bad commit > >> commit 7ec0a7290797f57b780f792d12f4bcc19c83aa4f > >> Author: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@...com> > >> Date: Mon Mar 30 17:48:24 2009 +0000 > > > > Ouch, sorry about that.

The fact that it still hangs even when you don't load the processor driver at all suggests that the 7ec0a729079 commit identified by the bisection is not the real problem. That commit only touches drivers/acpi/processor_core.c. I think it's more likely some kind of race or missed wakeup. Since it seems to be sensitive to whether the battery is present, I guess you could try blacklisting the battery.ko driver. There have been a few changes to it since 2.6.29-rc8. If things work without battery.ko, we can look through those changes.
