[Toshiba, pm-utils] Yet another suspend/resume problem thread

I have a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6086. It has Intel everything (graphics, processor, wifi).

It suspends fine. However, probably one out of every ten times, resuming fails. Just a black screen, sometimes with a cursor, requiring a hard reboot.

I can get it to fail reliably if I plug in the ac adapter while it's sleeping and then try to wake it up.

There is nothing in /var/log/messages of any interest except that it doesn't write anything about the resume process when it fails.

I tried removing autodetect hook from mkinitcpio and adding resume hook, but neither helped.

I am running laptop-mode-tools.

How do I begin to debug this?

Anything in /var/log/{pm.log,pm-suspend.log} ?

Re: [Toshiba, pm-utils] Yet another suspend/resume problem thread

Here are the last lines of each file:

pm-powersave.log

Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/laptop-mode false:

pm-suspend.log

Running hook /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/00powersave resume suspend:

So it looks like something just didn't finish... Most other lines in those files have "success" after the colon.

I tried setting intel_idle.max_cstate=0 in my kernel line in Grub, but that didn't fix it.

EDIT: Neither did noapic parameter
