Suspend to disk not functionnal in RC1 but was quite ok on beta3
Last modified: 2005-12-23 11:10:05 UTC
I've tried the suspend to disk on beta3 for your call for testing. It was working quite nice but with RC1, the screen stay black but the computer isn't powered down and I can't shut it off by pressing several seconds on the button. I was obliged to remove the battery. After rebooting, it seems that Grub is skipped and the system automatically booted but there is a lot of ReiserFS recovery and it seems to be a normal boot rather than a wake-up from suspend to disk. Tell me what I must check and send you
Strange. When does the screen become black? Can you see data to be written to the swap partition? How did you trigger the suspend? From kpowersave or from console with powersave -U?
I've trigged it from the kpowersave applet as I did on beta3. I can see a progress bar in a GUI windows then the screen show me a console display with a message (sorry I haven't the computer here so I haven't the precise message) but it seems to write to the swap. Then it turn black. I suppose this is when the computer is supposed to powered off.
What kind of hardware is it? If power down for 4 seconds fails to power it off, update your BIOS. If it persists, complain to your BIOS manufacturer. If you set shutdown method to "reboot", will it work?
Hi, Suspend to disk was working quite nice on beta3 so I don't think there is a problem with the BIOS. There must have been a change since beta3 on OpenSuSE. This is a MEDION 95257 so the hardware turn around the new Centrino Sonoma Personnaly, it doen't matter, I don't use it so much but I tell you the bug in order that OpenSuSE 10.0 kick some ass on this hardware too ;o)
If it does not power down when you hold power button, is IS either broken hw or broken BIOS. There may be some other problem in suse, too.
Yes but the problem isn't there. My computer is rebooting or halting sucessfully. It handle perfectly the ACPI functions. The problem is with "Suspend to disk" so I tell you as you made previously a call for testing. It was sucessfully working on your "call for testing" during the beta3 and "Suspend to Disk" is now broken on RC1 so I suppose there is some change on the package. If you give me again the instructions given for the call for testing when beta3 was out, I will be able to send you logfiles about the "Suspend to Disk".
logfiles won't help in this case of a hard lockup. You can try setting the different shutdown methods in /etc/sysconfig/powersave/sleep, variable SHUTDOWN_METHOD. First try with "reboot". If this works, try "shutdown", if this also works, try "platform". "platform" is the default. You can also try with the boot parameter ec_burst=0, but i doubt this changes anything.
Florent, did you try what Stefan wrote in the previous comment?
Two weeks gone by and nothing new here. If there is no comment from your side in about two weeks, I will close the bug as WONTFIX.
Sorry for the delay, I've switch to another distro several days after the release when the mirrors where not in sync then switch back to SuSE. First the variable SHUTDOWN_METHOD doesn't exist but I suppose this is this one : SUSPEND2DISK_SHUTDOWN_MODE="" There is no default value in the conf file but I suppose this is hardcoded ? I4ve made the test previously for the reboot without succes. I will try again, then I will try the 2 others values.
Here is the suspend2disk.log in with the "reboot" value. The beginning were ok, KDE progress-bar , then console display and ending by some errors regarding hardware. I had to powered off manually. At the reboot, grub has been skipped, the beginning of the startut proces show some fix regarding reiserfs then it seems that is a classic boot process. No wake-up from the suspend to disk state.
Created attachment 55767 [details] suspend2disk.log in "reboot" mode
Created attachment 55770 [details] suspend2disk.log in "shutdown" mode Same behaviour as reboot mode in shutdown mode. The error messages I've on screen (at least the last ones cause I can't scroll it) are about the eth0 network interface. The eth0 interface is not configured, I have only the WIFI eth1 network interface running.
Created attachment 55771 [details] suspend2disk.log in "firmware" mode Same behaviour in firmware mode
Created attachment 55775 [details] suspend2disk.log in "platform" mode Quite the same behaviour in platform mode except that the laptop can not be shutoff by pressing on the power button. I'm forced to unplug the AC adaptater and removing the battery.
You may want to try with minimal modules etc, but debugging this takes a long time. If you do not need swsusp that much...
You are right, I don't need swsusp that much. It was just to report that it didn't work anymore since RC1 but was fonctional in beta3.
So if you like, please try with init=/bin/bash.
Anything new here? Florent, did you try it with something newer than RC1?
Sure, I've tried with the final release of SuSE 10.0. But it doesn't matter. Let's see with the next release and I'm running another distro at the moment so...
Ok, I think I should close the bug as invalid because we can't get more information. Please reopen if the problem still occurrs in the next release or this setting is wrong.
