Hello,

I tried to get a kernel dump with kdump/kexec to have something I could
work on, but no success. The kernel hangs and doesn't reboot on the
crash kernel.
Disabling SMP solves the problem too (it is required for kdump, but SMP
can be enabled if you tell kdump to use one cpu), I feel a little bit
discouraged.

Since I can't find any pertinent similar problem (they are either too
old or with no answer, or both) I begin to believe this is a hardware
problem on my laptop. I'll try to patch the BIOS someday.

Fun fact : closing lid hangs the system, but after I have done a single
suspend-to-ram, I can close the lid as much as I want without getting
the system to hang...


Thanks,
