By the way, I tried to get the error message, but my display had gone 
in standby mode before it completed and it wouldn't wake up. I'll have 
to test with an earlier 3.14 kernel (rc1 or rc2), when it was answering 
to my wake up signal. Even though my display doesn't wake up with rc6, 
it is still running since I can see some activities on my disk from 
time to time.

I'll be back with more info ASAP.
