This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated

address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support

pm-utils bugreport info on Thinkpad T400 with RHEL6.1

This issue only happen on Thinkpad T400 with RHEL6.1.
pm-hibernate run normally on other platform and on Thinkpad T400 with RHEL5.7.
Comment 5 Jaroslav Škarvada 2011-04-22 10:09:04 UTC 
The following command should help:
# ln -s /boot/grub/grub.conf /etc/grub.conf

The /etc/grub.conf should be there. AFAIK it is created for FHS compatibility by anaconda. It is also relied by other tools (e.g. grubby). I have it on clearly provisioned RHEL-6 system. Do you know which package / procedure removed /etc/grub.conf from your system?
Comment 6 chen yuwen 2011-04-25 03:22:04 UTC 
Because I didn't install grub.

So I install the RHEL6.1 completely again, then pm-hibernate and FunctionKey work.
