I know something odd happened with bug #10117 as you so aggressively pointed out. In my defense I must say that I was about to report the hang with "ACPI: Processor [CPU1] (supports 8 throttling states)" to lkml when I read Soeren's post in this list. Then I did _not_ send the "me too" email and kept on following what was going on. So when I read that Soeren's bug was closed I wrote in the bugzilla that I was still seeing the same issue, and that I wanted to reopen it. I should not have done that and it won't happen again. > And the fact that Carlos and Mark discuss their different problems in > the same bug is just plain wrong. You are saying it is a different problem, but it may be the same. Sometimes I had to reboot 30+ times before the hang could happen! And the last messages were _exactly_ the same. But let's not argue about that, I just wanted to help by pointing out that maybe the bug was being closed too early. In trying to help I just caused more confusion, for which I appologize. > We must learn to more aggressively point people at reporting their > issues in own bugs, instead of hijacking an already existing similar > looking bug (that might be for a different issue). I understand now, but you made me feel bad about it.
