If you are using the 8.41 ATI driver don't as it will break
I am using i810. And it has still nothing to do with *writing* to swap failing with I/O errors!
iirc if your swap partition/available swap is too small hibernate can fail.
It is not. The *same* partition works with Fedora 7, Mandriva 2008, and some more.
Don't use vga=... in your grub.conf as it may break suspend/resume.
I guess it would break the *resume*, but could not raise I/O *write* errors!
But I don't use vga= with RHEL5 clones anyway, as I remember it was a regression and it was not supported at some point.
Also make sure that the kvm, kvm_intel, iwl3945 modules are unloaded before suspending. This is done in /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules Make sure you # chmod 755 unload_modules
File contains something like: SUSPEND_MODULES="iwl3945 mac80211 cfg80211 kvm_intel kvm"
Uh, I'll check later, but I don't seem to be using neither of them.
See this "quirk" webpage with tons of help: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-debug.html /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-acer.fdi
Thx. I guess I should digg also on http://mhensler.de/swsusp/ JIC it has something of help for RHEL5.
At least you know that it can work. That's better than not working at all :)
<sigh>Duh...</sigh>
Suspend/resume/hibernate stuff is complicated and the zillions of different laptops out there all with their (buggy) bios and acpi implementations isn't helping either. So with that in mind imho I think it could be much worse. There is a lot of work going on to ensure that laptops just work. Laptop quirks are gradually added to hal-info which should make more and more laptops work correctly. If you find the quirk fix for your laptop please send the relevant info to the hal-info mailing list (see that "quirk" web page I gave above).
Yeah, but... on this laptop, even distros that were released *prior* to RHEL5 manage to hibernate! (e.g. openZuZE 10.2)
Well, if I'll discover smth over the weekend, I'll let you know.
Rgds, R-C
