["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Alexander Graf, as per
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z9PED8_WS/#support an update is
available for your BIOS (5103). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate , does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Intel C602 SAS crashes on resume

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is about the device
  05:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Intel Corporation C602 chipset 4-Port SATA Storage Control Unit (rev 06).

  Steps to reproduce are:
   * Connect a SATA device (tested with hdd and dvd drive) to PHY 1 port.
   * Apply power and start ubuntu.
   * The device can be mounted and used without any problems.
   * Suspend the system (using unity menu)
   * The system enters suspend as expected (hdds spinning down, all fans are turned of as usual, power led blinking)
   * Resume the system using acpi power button.
   * The system resumes (devices spinning up ...)
   *(a) In the case of a connected DVD drive the desktop becomes visible. Everything works at first, but when any program accesses the device (e.g. open VLC player, or the "Disk Utility" program -- even without DVD in the drive) the system freezes instantly.
   *(b) In the case of a hdd the monitor stays off after resume. 
   * In both cases I can't change to terminals using Ctrl+Alt+F1 and the system appears to be frozen. Reset.

  For the hdd test case, the device was mentioned in the /etc/fstab with
  default options as a simple data drive (neither boot nor swap
  partitions on it, these are on a sata drive connected to a different
  controller).

  The problem could be reproduced 5 out of 5 times. When no device is
  connected to the SAS controller the suspend/resume works without any
  issues. The setup was not tested with other ubuntu versions or other
  distributions, but I can try it when necessary. Caps lock of my PS2
  keyboard is NOT blinking when the system is frozen.
