does this go away if you boot with "ec_intr=0"?

So far it seems like that option solves the problem. But since the bug
appears
very erratically I think it's better to wait for a few more reboots.

BTW, when I was testing _without_ ec_intr=0 I got this in the log (th
is
happened the first reboot after the one mentioned in my previous mail):

Mar 23 03:48:50 kurtz ACPI: read EC, IB not empty
Mar 23 03:48:50 kurtz ACPI: read EC, OB not full

by
Handler for [EmbeddedControl] [20060127]

This is an hp pavilion ze5616ea laptop, FYI.

Thanks and best regards,

Please file this bug on bugzilla.kernel.org
We need to find out why ?
Could you post dmesg for ec_intr=0 , ec_intr=1 on bugzilla.

Thanks,
Luming
