This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux major release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Major release. This request is not yet committed for inclusion. What does /sys/power/state contain on this machine? Sorry I didn't check my gmail for a couple days. /sys/power/state contains: standby [only] on RHEL v6 beta. On Fedora 13 where hibernate works perfectly, it contains: standby disk This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** Do you still see this with the current kernel? Short answer, yes I do still see this with the current kernel-2.6.32-44.2.el6.i686. The long answer is that there is an option to select hibernate when I shut down, but hibernate stopped working on Fedora (where it used to work) after I installed opensolaris with a zfs filesystem on the partition next to my swap partition. Given the theory that having a zfs partition made hibernate stop working, I created a swap file, rather than using the swap partition; for the rhelv6 beta2 install, and added it to my fstab and from the output in top it appears to be active. When I select hibernate it appears to attempt to work (the desktop disappears and the hard disk spins a bit) but then the desktop reappears again and it never hibernates. It looks like it wrote something to the swap, output from top: Swap: 4095992k total, 7836k used, 4088156k free, 62112k cached Whereas there was previously 0k used of the swap. Here's other output if you want it: cat /sys/power/state standby disk devkit-power --dump Daemon: daemon-version: 014 can-suspend: no can-hibernate yes on-battery: no on-low-battery: no lid-is-closed: no lid-is-present: no Suspend to swapfile isn't supported. Ok, if suspend to swapfile isn't supported I commented that line in fstab and uncommented /dev/sda2 as swap and did a swapoff and swapon /dev/sda2 and attempted the hibernate. It powered off ok, but it didn't resume to the desktop it just booted up as normal. It's up to dracut to trigger the resume.

Does it help, if you put "resume=LABEL=SWAP-sda2" on the kernel command line? Short answer: No, and yes. Longer answer: with the partitioning scheme shown above, it didn't resume even after adding the resume= statement on the kernel line in the menu.lst file. As I wasn't really using OpenSolaris (sda3) anymore, and still suspecting that the Solaris (ZFS) filesystem was part of the problem, I made copies of important stuff then deleted the partition. It now looks like: fdisk -l /dev/sda Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 6375 51200000 83 Linux /dev/sda2 6375 6885 4096000 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 25122 60802 286601240 5 Extended /dev/sda5 25122 31496 51200000 83 Linux /dev/sda6 * 31497 34683 25599546 83 Linux /dev/sda7 34684 43801 73240303+ 83 Linux And now hibernate works just fine, with and without the resume= statement. I don't know if the proximity of the swap & Solaris partitions are what kept it from working or not. But now it's working, so feel free to close this bug report. seems like the boot flag did the trick... |
