Hello,
I use ASUS eeePC 1201NL. Since I started using laptop-mode my system after a random period of time seems to crash hal (no touchpad/keyboard working, plugging usb mouse/keyboard does not help; the system itself can work fine). This only happened on battery power (laptop-mode state: 2). I've found a possible solution - turn off hal polling control/hal polling disabling in /etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/hal-polling.conf:
CONTROL_HAL_POLLING=0
BATT_DISABLE_HAL_POLLING=0
Did someone by chance face same issue? Due to randomness of the freeze I'm just not sure if disabling theese heleped...
Perhaps someone succeeded with hibernating/suspending to ram with this machine (or it's older brother 1201N)??
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately I get freezes on AC power to. This netbook really, really sucks.

Ok, it all boiled down to be a faulty rtl8192se driver. Now I hate Realtek assholes

I'm not sure, but this might be hardware issue - after each forced reboot (after a freeze) the bios asks to configure or load defaults. but it might be caused by forced reboot (by holding down the power button). Crap.

Setting all input devices in xorg did not prevent them from freezing. Goddamn Assus.

A breakthrough:
I figoured out that with disabled wifi (disabled with acpi generic package for eeepc) the machine is finally able to resume from suspend2ram. Having suspend2ram working I can bypass the freeze simply with lid closing and reopening. After resume system works fine again. I've seen a while ago someone with same problem - if, by anychance you have experienced this (and hopefully fixed), even on totally different hardware, please just give me a bump.
I've also tried switching to win2k/ndiswrapper driver for wifi. Apart from really better performance (much better range) the freezes still occur, so I think I can safely rule out the driver. Now hal is the one I suspect I'll try git version, later on I'll experiment with acpi which is adapted from eeepc 1000ha.

Hopefully I've fixed the problem. Apparently kernel 2.6.32 is faulty someway. Downgrading to 2.6.31 (hopefully) fixed the problem (no freeze since yesterday ).
Offline
Just tried recent 2.6.33.2 and the problem is still there. Falling back to 2.6.31 then.

I I'm experiencing something similar. After some time up the netbook just crashes: sound goes in a loop, and I can't use the mouse or the keyboard or whatever.
It is pretty annoying. I was using nvidia driver but now I switched to nouveau. Let's see if something will happen again.
