           Summary: VMware Workstation will crash (freeze) the system when
                    launched after system wake-up from suspend mode
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: martosurf7600 at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

I'm runing Arch Linux x86_64 + KDE SC 4.4.3

I'm posting this issue here because I'm running KDE SC; I'm posting this too at
Arch's forum, at KernelTap and at VMware forums. Since I really don't know
where is the conflict I'm making sure every involved part is aware of this.

This is the bug: if I start a virtual machine in a waked-up from
suspend-to-memory Arch Linux x86_64 + KDE SC 4.4.3 system, system will KRASH,
freezing computer. Nothing will work: ctrl+alt+f* nor left alt+prtscrn+rseiudb,
nothing, computer will completely hang.

May be this an interruption IRQ issue? Don't know, ovbiously something related
to memory.

Best!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Suspend system to RAM (S3 mode). Wake up the system: use it for a moment or
fire a VMware virtual machine right now and you'll completely freeze your
system.

Actual Results:  
System will COMPLETELY hang.

Expected Results:  
Run smooth?
