Description Tomi Malkki 2006-10-24 23:24:34 UTC
Suspend of T60 fails with "Suspend problem" note which asks to refer to FAQ

This comes to /var/log/messages:

because the DBUS method Suspend() was invoked
Oct 25 05:21:47 tomi-ibm kernel: printk: 73 messages suppressed.

Comment 1 David Zeuthen 2006-10-24 23:40:34 UTC
does running 'pm-suspend' from a shell work?

Comment 2 zingale 2006-10-26 17:00:21 UTC
I had the same problem on a Thinkpad X60.  Fedora was booting into the PAE
kernel by default.  If I selected the normal kernel at the grub menu, suspend
works fine.  It seems that PAE and suspend don't play well together (also note,
that the 586 kernel was installed mistakenly, as seems to be common in FC6, but
I don't think that this is affecting the suspend).



Comment 3 Tomi Malkki 2006-11-01 13:08:36 UTC
I resolved that this is because of xen -kernel. 

I think there should be at least a clear error message stating that xen -kernel
can't be used to suspend.

On my X41 suspend works fine with a PAE kernel.

Surely we should just fix XEN to suspend?

This bug is open for a Fedora version that is no longer maintained and
will not be fixed by Fedora. Therefore we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen thus bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
