10.3 hangs after hibernate
in [Suse]
|
From: fudo on 8 Jan 2008 20:22 I installed 10.3 on a new box: ecs nforcem6-a, AMD X2 4800, evga geforce 8400gs video card (using the nvidia driver). It worked fine for a few days, but now every time I hibernate it, when I restart it either hangs with no response to kybd or mouse, or ksoftirqd and events take up 99.99% of CPU and are unkillable. I see nothing in /var/log/messages that give me any clue as to what the problem is, so I'm at a loss what might fix it. Suggestions appreciated. -- signone

There are VERY FEW laptop configurations that support it and there are too many variables (probably) to assume this will change any time soon. Suspend to disk should work though and might be a safer more reliable alternative. Give it a shot. The kernel folks are actively working on power saving and suspension issues, but I don't think there's an ETA for a "works better" release yet. If you must use hibernate, you might try NOT using the nvidia driver and see if that makes things work. Not saying it's the root cause... so if that does work, don't necessarily blame nvidia.

Give it a shot. Sorry, my bad; it is suspend to disk I'm using, and this isn't a laptop. -- signone

I can't help you directly, but I am able to do suspend to disk on an old Compaq Deskpro EN under SuSE 10.0 with a big caveat. Like you, it has no problem suspending and resuming UNLESS I happen to have a USB stick (for backups) mounted. When I try to resume with the USB stick, the system is hardlocked so bad only a coldstart (power off/on) reboot fixes it. Sorry I don't have any additional info; I've never gotten this fixed. -- Regards, Weird (Harold Stevens) * IMPORTANT EMAIL INFO FOLLOWS * Pardon any bogus email addresses (wookie) in place for spambots. Really, it's (wyrd) at airmail, dotted with net. DO NOT SPAM IT. Kids jumping ship? Looking to hire an old-school type? Email me.

Kernel mail list does seem to indicate that there are some things that aren't quite ready with regards to "sleeping" style operations on desktops and servers... but can't say if this affects suspend to disk or not. Keep us posted if you discover anything. |
