There seems to be a problem on my Acer box which is related to DIPM
and switching the power source.  Namely, when I detach the AC adapter
from the machine, the disk (which is an Intel SSD) freezes for a
while and something like this appears in dmesg:

Since updating to 2.6.39-rc7 (from 2.6.38.x) I have similar problems
with two notebooks using Intel ICH:

Patch not tried yet (do not know / not looked into yet where to change
for this chipset).

Seems to be a 2.6.39-rcX regression?

Well, that very well may be the case.

Can you verify that it didn't happen with 2.6.38 and earlier?
