Description Rodd Clarkson 2010-08-31 10:26:50 UTC
Description of problem:

When I suspend my system, it seems to work fine.  The system shuts down and the blinking light that indicates a suspended system does it's thing.

However, when I try to resume, the system powers on, but it never gets back to a usable system.  The screen remains black, and the caps lock key doesn't toggle and a hard reboot is required.

I've tried using systemctl isolate runlevel3.target to turn off the graphical stuff to see if it's my video card driver and this has no positive effect on the resume.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.35.2-9.fc14.x86_64
kernel-2.6.35-3.fc14.x86_64
kernel-2.6.35.4-12.fc14.x86_64



How reproducible:

Very, like every time.




Additional info:

The system suspends and resumes on f13 without problem.

I've been trying the 2.6.24 kernels for f13, but they don't suspend/resume either (not sure it's the resuming that the issue).

Comment 1 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-01 23:26:42 UTC
I'm guessing this is a radeon driver problem, we now have multiple reports of suspend/resume broken on radeon in 2.6.34 and 2.6.35.

Comment 2 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-02 00:38:56 UTC
Can you try to debug further using these instructions?

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems#Suspend.2FResume_failure

Comment 3 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-02 01:48:00 UTC
I've tried these instructions but the results I get are somewhat jumbled.

Firstly, the instructions lack clarity, and maybe this is my problem.  They read:
  "After the hang, reboot, boot up again."

but I'm not sure if this means:
  "After the hang, reboot the system"

or am I meant to reboot the system and then boot again (and if so shouldn't that be reboot again?)  How do I do this?


What I did.

I've just held down the power button until the system shut itself down and then started the system using the power button.  This then booted back into f14.

From here I logged in as a regular user and opened a terminal window.

Then I tried:

$ dmesg | grep "hash matches"
  hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:520
button PNP0C0D:00: hash matches


And finally:
$ find /sys/bus/pci/drivers/ -name "PNP0C0D:00:"

which didn't result in any results.

I'm on the couch all day today, so feel free to badger me for more feedback.

Yeah, that's the ACPI lid switch, in /sys/bus/acpi/devices

Comment 6 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-04 07:42:51 UTC
This isn't a xorg-x11-drv-ati bug.  I can trigger this from runlevel 3 (or it's
new equivalent.)

Comment 7 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-04 07:44:25 UTC
I've tried modprobe -r <module> removing quite a few modules and this has not benefit.  The system still won't resume.

Comment 8 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-04 07:52:10 UTC
I have the same problem with hibernate/resume as I do with suspend/resume.  In neither case does the system resume properly and the outcome has the same symptoms.

However, when resuming for hibernate I get a little output on the screen on resume which might help isolate where the failure occurs.

I haven't got a photo of the first 'clue' and I haven't seen it since, but I saw a bunch of output on the screen when resuming about problems with ucb.  Unfortunately I can't be more specific than this.

Text seen on resume from hibernate (image 1)

Text seen on resume after hibernate.  This was just before the system locked up.

Hopefully it gives some clue to where the system gets to before failing.

Comment 11 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-04 07:59:35 UTC
The time between the two images above was about 12 seconds.

Comment 12 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-04 10:30:59 UTC
In http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems#Suspend.2FResume_failure it suggests:

*  If the system fails to resume, see if the system is locked up completely by hitting the caps lock key.
* If the capslock light doesn't toggle, or the failure is during suspend, try again, but this time before suspending, activate the pm_trace functionality with echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace. <snip>

Actually, the problem isn't the system failing to suspend, it's failing to resume.  Is this the same thing.

I've tried this option anyway (as you can see above) and the only real result is that I have to fsck a bunch of /dev/sda[x] devices to get the timestamps right again.

* Try rmmod'ing various modules before doing the suspend. If this makes things work again, retry with a smaller set of modules unloaded. Keep retrying until you narrow down which module is to blame. 

I've tried this too.  Below is a list of all the modules running and after switching to runlevel3 I am able to remove (using modprobe -r) all the starred modules.  Regardless the system freezes immediately after "Loading image data pages".

Comment 13 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-04 16:31:07 UTC
Can you try -52 from koji?

  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=193668

And do this as root before trying to suspend with that kernel:

  echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async

(pm_async will be disabled in -53)

Comment 14 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-05 10:56:32 UTC
Tried -52 and had no luck.

Just to be sure I did the right thing.  I logged in as me (username rodd) and then opened a terminal.  I then run 'sudo su -' to become root and then I ran 'echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async'.

After this I selected System > Shutdown > Suspend

resume failed

I also tried suspending from gdm but had no better luck (this time with async still enabled).

Do you want me to try being in run level 3 and removing all the modules I can and turning off async or is this just a waste of time.

Comment 15 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-07 11:22:46 UTC
Tried -54 and this doesn't work either.

What other feedback can I supply?  I'm happy to work toward addressing this, but I'm going to need to idea what more to tell you.

Is there some backtrace I can run that will log to somewhere?

Comment 16 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-07 11:54:03 UTC
Any chance this bug has something to do with these problems?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/553498

From the bug: "This particular "hang on resume" fix relates only to a specific problem relating to the SCI_EN bit which seems to be peculiar to Intel Core i3, Core i5, and Core i7 CPU's"

Has the been included in 2.6.34.  I know that this bug mostly refers to 2.6.32, but some mention of 2.6.34 is made.

Comment 17 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-07 11:59:41 UTC
Or could it be related to this:

"This isn't a xorg-x11-drv-ati bug.  I can trigger this from runlevel 3 (or it's

you're still using the kernel mode setting. Test runlevel 3 with 'nomodeset' kernel parameter.

That fix went into 2.6.32.17 and 2.6.34.2:

Comment 21 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-08 20:13:07 UTC
How are you suspending the machine? By closing the lid and then opening it? Have you tried different methods than whatever you're using?

Comment 22 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-09 12:00:06 UTC
I haven't tried nomodeset so will report back on this soon.

As for how I've suspended the machine, the problem occurs both with suspend or hibernate and it doesn't seem to matter how I trigger it.  Close the lid, press the power button, run pm-suspend or pm-hibernate as root from a terminal. Suspend from a logged in user, from gdm or from a tty term in runlevel3 or runlevel5.

Comment 23 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-09 12:07:38 UTC
I've just tried nomodeset and it doesn't help. Interestingly, I also can't log in from gdm either. It starts to log in and then throws me back to gdm again.

Comment 24 Adam Williamson 2010-09-09 16:22:27 UTC
that's not particularly interesting, I wouldn't expect X to work at all well in that configuration. likely you're getting the vesa driver and it can't cope with some desktop acceleration thing you have enabled. it was purely for console suspend testing.

Comment 25 wdc 2010-09-10 19:55:32 UTC
Created attachment 446581 [details]
Output from lspci:  This configuration DOES suspend with the 2.6.34.6-54 kernel update.

For what is worth, I've attached lspci output from my system.

The 2.6.34.6-54 kernel update corrects the suspend/resume problems I was having that began when 2.6.33.6-147 (working) was updated to 2.6.34.6-47 (broken).

Comment 26 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-13 20:09:29 UTC
Tried -55 with no luck.

Comment 27 Chuck Ebbert 2010-09-14 14:44:43 UTC
You really need to get the i915 driver completely out of the picture to see if that's the source of the problem. nomodeset + runlevel 3 should do it, or blacklisting the i915 driver. The system needs to be in plain VGA text mode.

Comment 28 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-15 12:14:14 UTC
I don't understand the reference to the i915 driver. I've got an ATI graphics card so the i915 driver shouldn't be loaded should it? I'll give it a try tomorrow anyhow and see how it goes.

Comment 29 Matěj Cepl 2010-09-16 07:37:08 UTC
Of course, it should be radeon driver from xorg-x11-drv-ati package. The rest of Chuck's comment is correct.

Comment 30 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-17 00:43:59 UTC
I started my system with nomodeset + runlevel 3 and it's started with the old 'big text' style terminal, but I'm pretty sure that the radeon module was still loaded.  Should I try to rmmod this, or can I start it without this stuff starting.

Starting with 'nomodeset 3' didn't improve resuming at all, but maybe I need to have the radeon stuff not loaded.

Comment 31 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-18 00:09:07 UTC
I've loaded -56 with 'nomodeset 3'

I've then run 'modprobe-r radeon' and pm-suspend with no improvement.

I then loaded -56 again with 'nomodeset 3'

I then removed as many modules as possible and then ran pm-suspend with no improvement.

This is what was running when I tried to suspend:

Module                  Size  Used by
sunrpc                198573  1

Can I remove any of these modules and how?

Comment 32 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-24 00:11:20 UTC
I've just grabbed opensuse-11.3 live x86_64 gnome cd and booted from this.

On this distro, suspend and (more importantly) resume works fine on my laptop.

opensuse is running 2.6.34-12-desktop.

what can we learn from this?

what more information can I supply you to track down the issue?

how do we compare these two kernels to see what's different?

Is it possible to boot from the opensuse kernel on my system to see if this resolves the issue?

Comment 33 abrouwers 2010-09-28 17:05:17 UTC
When you see the black screen, can you change TTY sessions?  I notice that my F14 machine gets stuck here, however I can ctl+alt+f2, and then ctl+alt+f1 back to gnome and my desktop appears.

Comment 34 Rodd Clarkson 2010-09-28 20:53:47 UTC
My keyboard is unresponsive after resume. Hitting caps lock doesn't even toggle the light. You might not have the same issue as me.

Comment 35 Rodd Clarkson 2010-10-12 10:34:49 UTC
I've tested Ubuntu 10.10 Live CD which is running 2.6.35-22 and suspend/resume works fine on my machine.

So, to recap

OpenSUSE Live CD with kernel 2.6.34 suspends and resumes.
Ubuntu Live CD with kernel 2.6.35 suspends and resumes.
Fedora 14 Live CD with kernel 2.6.35 suspends BUT DOES NOT resume.

What is Fedora doing with it's kernel (or could this be some other software) that is making resume fail where it works on other distros?

Can I run fedora using these other kernels to see if they work?  Is this possible?

Comment 36 Kyle McMartin 2010-10-12 17:11:44 UTC
Hi Rodd,

There's really nothing interesting in 2.6.35 relating to Radeon DRM or ACPI that could explain why this would fail and other kernels would succeed.

The closest we have to upstream right now is the rawhide kernel, could I get you to test that?

I'll follow up your email to the list with a link to one if so.

--Kyle

Comment 37 Rodd Clarkson 2010-10-12 20:00:43 UTC
Why are we limiting thinking to radeom drm or acpi?

I'll try to F15 kernel but this hasn't worked for me on any 2.6.34 or 2.6.35 fedora kernel. Earlier kernels had issues with suspend, but now the problem is with resuming.

Comment 38 Adam Williamson 2010-10-12 20:22:13 UTC
Rodd: Kyle actually re-assigned the bug from xgl-maint to Matthew Garrett: his comment was an explanation for why, i.e., he agrees with you, it's probably not a radeon drm issue, so the bug should be assigned as a general suspend/resume bug and not assigned to the X team.

Comment 39 Rodd Clarkson 2010-10-13 00:37:12 UTC
Kyle, I've tried the kernel-2.6.36-0.36.rc7.git3.fc15 (without perf as there were dependency issues) and my f14 system can now suspend AND resume.

Will this help figure out what is wrong so that a patch can be applied to the f13 and f14 kernels?

Comment 40 Rodd Clarkson 2010-10-13 03:36:35 UTC
I've tried the same kernel (kernel-2.6.36-0.36.rc7.git3.fc15) on f13 and it works there too.

Comment 41 Rodd Clarkson 2010-11-03 00:16:22 UTC
I've just tried kernel-2.6.35.6-50.fc14.x86_64 and it still has the same issues.

Comment 42 Venca 2010-11-09 22:11:02 UTC
I would just report that I can join the "resume fail" team. I already filled the bug here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=650525 as I did not find your before. So my bug is most likely duplicate of yours.

I did nearly the same tests what are described in your bug except the testing of kernel-2.6.36-0.36.rc7.git3.fc15.

Generally I see only one difference (except the HW), my system can resume with the 32 bit F14 distribution (only tested on one PC what does not have 64bit support).

As I did tests also from "single" mode, I think that the failure is not related to any Xorg driver.

Comment 43 Rodd Clarkson 2010-11-09 23:09:29 UTC
Venca, welcome aboard (I think ;-]).

I've just tried kernel-2.6.35.6-51.fc14.x86_64 from koji with no better outcome.

I was hoping this might work since the changelog said:

    "Backport polling fixes + radeon hang fixes from upstream"

No such luck.

Comment 44 Venca 2010-11-10 11:50:09 UTC
Here are another test results. The following kernels:

kernel-2.6.36-0.36.rc7.git3.fc15
kernel-2.6.36-1.fc15.x86_64

also do not work.

I have question for those guys who know more about the suspend/resume procedures: Is there something what could be wrongly set into the laptop CMOS/permanent memory what can remain there and could cause this problems? The point is, that my laptop starts to have also problem with rebooting/restarting the system. When I do restart, the computer hangs with black screen and I have to turn it off and on. I have tried the reboot=b/w kernel argument, but no success. Also when I turn off and then on the laptop when it hangs after the failed resume, the screen flash for a moment in the way like it resumes. And then it starts the post/boot procedure. I never observed that with my working Fedora 12.

Comment 45 Rodd Clarkson 2010-12-04 00:26:57 UTC
I'm not sure that Venca's got exactly the same problem as me.  I'm not having issues with 2.6.36 kernels (and in fact I'm relying on them to use f14 with suspend/resume).  However, after a failed resume I too experience slowness moving through the BOIS start up.  It doesn't hang for me, but it's not the usual start up.

I've tried kernels 2.6.35.9-62 and 2.6.35.9-64 and both still fail to resume.

A couple of other things I've noticed.  When waking from resume successfully, the bluetooth and wireless lights on my laptop come on almost immediately after the HDD light flashes (they are all next the each other).  When it fails, the bluetooth and wifi lights never come on.  Does this help isolate where the resume is failing?

Also, I can confirm that this isn't a specific hardware problem because I've recently had my laptop replaced with an identical model (thanks Dell) and I've still got the problem.

I'm pretty convinced that this is related to a patch that Fedora is using with the 2.6.34 and 2.6.35 kernels since I've been able to suspend and resume with these kernels on other distros and because 2.6.36 works on f14.  Could this be the case?

This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
