Hi guys

I got a T43 and a lot of stuff is working already, but one thing I can't do any progress is the sofware suspend. What I use: Latest Suspend Patch (acid2 sources), hibernate script; Harware: Ati X300, binary drivers.

The suspend is working without X for disk suspending but not with ram. When I use suspend to ram, the Laptop crashes after resume.

So what I primarily need is suspending to disk. I read about the vbetool which should solve some issues and i tried it by uncommenting the lines in hibernate.conf. But still no sucess.

Could anyone help me on this?

Thank you!

PS: I know that there are some threads about this, but most of them are chaotic and nobody summed up what he actually had done to get it working, so I hope that this thread will help also other users with similar configuration.

it seems you have a sata-harddrive in your book, too. ibm makes his own power control this. one conflicts with the kernel sata power management. download the ORIGINAL 2.6.12.6 kernelsources, patch the kernel sources with sata_pm.2.6.12.diff and it will works under X (typical only X).

I get this kinda crash too.
And i don't have SATA in my laptop.

I think:
1) ATI Radeon "fglrx" drivers
2) Wireless drivers

Although i suspect the second, the first is much more probable of making the freeze.

Cheers,

I solved that problem a long time ago by using latest ati drivers/kernel and the agpgart (intel here) as a module.

You can find everything on my homepage in the Download Section. I hope you'll find it.

Good luck!

Thanks a lot! I see that you have posted even your menu.lst which will also prove very important IMHO. I will have to try out nitro-sources

Yes, I did look at that page yesterday. Now, I think I will hold off installing any other kernel. I will probably try the new kernel 2.6.17 when it goes stable, because a new suspend (ususpend) code is being introduced into the kernel.

I finally got some time and decided to look at the configuration of my system again.

Thanks a ton! Your kernel config, and hibernate.conf helped me to get my software suspend2 working

I am using suspend2-sources-2.6.16-r4. (prior to this kernel change, I had tried beyond3, which also resulted in kernel oops and that got me thinking that my kernel config was probably at fault).

I think the major change I made in my kernel config was to disable all the ide options and keep only the scsi options. That got suspend2 working in non-graphics mode. Using suspend2 from graphics used to make the system unresponsive when the suspend2 reached "Doing Atomic copy". Setting extra_pages_allowance to 7500 got rid of that problem.

Thanks once again.
