2c_PMHibernate/2c_PMStandby sometimes never hibernate/standby

Hi,

I am working in a WHQL testing with HCT 12.1 for a wireless LAN
driver.

I am getting a problem in 2c_PMHibernate or 2c_PMStandby test when I
run it from TestManager. The system gets stuck displaying a message
"preparing to hibernate/standby". Sometimes hibernate-test runs 10/10
times but later gets stuck in standby-test in 6th out of 10th standby
iteration. Sometimes it gets stuck in very first iteration of
hibernate-test.

But these tests always pass when we run them directly from standalone
batch file (ndtest.bat).

Using SoftICE I see the stack on the system. When this problem arises
the stack always shows:
intelppm!text+0x1CE2
ntoskrnl!KiDispatchInterrupt+03A2

Can somebody guess what the problem could be ?

This is some information about system and processor.
No of processor : 2
Processor : Intel(R)Xeon(TM) CPU 2.40GHz(both)
Processor Driver: Intelppm.sys
Driver Version : 5.1.2600.1
File Version : 5.1.2600.2183(xpSP_SP2_rtm.040803_2158)

I tried options mentioned in "Cannot enter standby or hibernate
" in microsoft.public.windowsxp.general but that didn't work.

Thanks and regards,
Ashirwad.

Hi,

It was a badly written while() loop in our MiniportHalt() that was
getting excited when we ran TestManager on a 2processor machine. We
have fixed the problem.

Thanks,
