 |
|
I have problems suspending the ibm T43. It is telling that there are not enought extra pages it needs 1534 but there are only 500. What does this mean?
I am using 2.6.17-beyond4. I have an ati mobility x300. I am using the fglrx driver 8.28.8. |

What is the output of: | Code: | | cat /proc/suspend2/extra_pages_allowance |
And if you are suspending to swap, how big is your swap and how much memory does your laptop have? |

I do not have a /proc/suspend2 directory.
I am using swap for suspending. My swap is 512 MB and I have 512 MB Memory. But I have to add to this that with the 2.6.15 kernels suspend2 worked. There I also used older versions of the hibernate script. |

| I also have problems with suspending since kernel 2.6.15 (sometimes it works, often it doesn't) As far as I know the pages allowance thing means that it doesn't have enough free space/allocates enough free space. For me that proc file controls how much pages it will allocate for suspending. Strange that you don't have /proc/suspend2. |

I have suspend to ram and suspend to disk working well here on a T43 (ati x300), with suspend2-sources-2.6.17. Perhaps my configuration files will help you:
| Code: | ~> grep -v "^#" ram.conf | grep -v "^$"
UseSysfsPowerState mem
Include common.conf
~> grep -v "^#" hibernate.conf | grep -v "^$"
TryMethod suspend2.conf
~> grep -v "^#" suspend2.conf | grep -v "^$"
UseSuspend2 yes
Reboot no
EnableEscape yes
DefaultConsoleLevel 1
Compressor lzf
Encryptor none
ProcSetting userui_program /sbin/suspend2ui_fbsplash
ProcSetting expected_compression 50
ProcSetting extra_pages_allowance 7500
FullSpeedCPU yes
Include common.conf
~> grep -v "^#" common.conf | grep -v "^$"
Verbosity 2
LogFile /var/log/hibernate.log
LogVerbosity 1
Distribution gentoo
SaveClock restore-only
IbmAcpi yes
OnSuspend 10 sudo /usr/local/sbin/windows_mount unmount
OnSuspend 20 sudo /usr/local/sbin/stopnet
OnResume 20 sudo /usr/local/sbin/startnet
OnResume 10 sudo /usr/local/sbin/windows_mount mount
GentooModulesAutoload yes

Any chance you could also post your kernel config? And your /etc/hibernate/blacklisted-modules and perhaps the output of "lsmod"?
Thanks!

Hmm... that is a pretty old post,- I am sure a lot has changed in between. Anyway:
1. Kernel config. Currently the laptop is running on 2.6.19-suspend2-r1. I would suggest you upgrade to 2.6.19 since it has newer SATA drivers which have good power management (no more random non-resumes from suspend to ram).
2. blacklisted-modules. This is just the default file, no modifications made by me.
3. lsmod. This contains only those modules which I did not put into the kernel either due to necessity (agpgart, intel_agp) or because I am not using the in-kernel drivers (alsa, ipw2200). |

A million thank yous! Your config just worked for me. I diff'ed mine and yours, and there were so many differences that it's not obvious what "the" difference was. Doesn't matter---it works!
Thank you so much! |
