You mentioned that you didn't have a setup to build NetBSD - I was just trying to note that NetBSD can be cross built from other boxes, so if you have a bigger machines with sufficient disk and cpu which doesn't happen to run NetBSD it can make a convenient build box.
Those ThinkPads do not have a current setup to buidl on, however I have one 64bit which runs NetBSD current on which I could (and did in the past) cross-compile kernels for x86, incase somebody suggest a single patch to test. Otherwise kernels from RelEng should be quite reliable and convenient, shoudln't they?
I even disabled Intel Speed Step (I hope it does no harm) So pretty much anything I could find! Then I booted a couple of days old generic kernel. There I disabled more stuff: - isa - fxp - radeon - audio should be quite barebones!!! Below a dmesg of such "bare" configuration. Yet... it crashes on sleep with the already stated error trap_tss() at netbsd:trap_tss --- trap via task gate --- netbsd:cpu_info_primary: cpu0 End traceback...Ah - it was a "probably wont affect anything, but easy to test and could have given useful information" :/
It was something quick to try, but didn't help.Now I'm waiting for other suggestions... it appears this way that the issue is "deep" and not just in some driver, or at least not an expendable one.
