Hi Christopher, Thanks for getting back on this. I can add that the
problem, unfortunately, still occurred in the 12.04 LTS of Ubuntu on
that laptop (HP Elitebook). Since the problem is related to (excessive)
swapping, I thought simply adding more RAM would be a workaround (it had
4Gb). But my University didn't want to buy new ram for an old laptop, so
they got me a Dell Precision with 8Gb. I'm still running 12.04 LTS, and
even with memory more or less maxed out I never had the problems I had
with the HP Elitebook. The HP Elitebook is with a coleague now, so if
this really needs tracking down, I could ask him to do some tests. Will
that be worth the effort?

It would be up to your colleague, if the problem is still reproducible.

Title:
  Kernel Oops - BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at
  000000000000011f; RIP: 0018:[<ffffffff81032919>]  [<ffffffff81032919>]
  __ticket_spin_lock+0x9/0x20

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On my HP EliteBook 6930p, running Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric) suspend and
  resume does not work properly.

  Sometimes on suspend, and sometimes on resume, the machine completely freezes. Symptoms are:
  - black screen
  - cannot switch virtual terminals (aka Ctrl+Alt+F1)
  - no response on Caps-Lock (Caps light does not change status)
  - cannot reboot using Ctrl+Alt+Del
  - kernel hotkeys do not work (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+S does not lead to disk activity)
  - sometimes, kernel 'boot' hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+B) still works (but sometimes not)
  - no flashing Caps lock (i.e., not a kernel panick)

  It doesn't always happen, and it seems like the chances are higher if
  I use the machine more intensely. For example, yesterday after a day
  of video editing, the first resume already froze. Normally, I can get
  a number of suspend/resume cycles before the freeze.

  So it was in lucid (10.4) , maverick, natty, and now oneiric (11.10).

  Works in Precise.
