From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Epiphany/1.2.4 Description of problem: My ThinkPad X24 laptop claims to support ACPI sleep mode S3: % cat /proc/acpi/sleep S0 S3 S4 S5 However, attempting to go into S3 mode hangs the laptop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.6-1.435.2.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep Actual Results: A console message appears reporting that all processes are being stopped. This is quickly followed by a second message: "PM: Entering state." Fan and hard drive now turn off. The screen goes blank, but not dark. The LCD is still being illuminated; it clearly is not powered off. Crescent-shaped indicator light on laptop base lights up. Laptop is now completely unresponsive. Tapping the "Fn" key does not bring it back. Closing and opening the lid does not bring it back. Tapping the power key does not bring it back. Even holding down the power key for several seconds, which should turn the laptop off, has no effect. The only way to recover from this state is to remove all power sources (battery & AC). Expected Results: The LCD should have powered off. The laptop should have woken up from S3 in response to tapping the "Fn" key, opening the lid, or any of the other usual triggers. Additional info: The bug is consistently reproducible even when booted into single user mode. This eliminates X11, network drivers, and most modules as possible culprits. When my laptop is running in single user mode, the only loaded modules are: nls_utf8 nls_cp437 vfat fat pcspkr nvram dm_mod uhci_hcd button battery asus_acpi ac ext3 jbd
For what it's worth, this bug still appears exactly as describe above using the current Fedora Core 2 kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2. {pout}
Can you try the latest FC2 kernel, which is similar to the latest FC3 kernel (or FC3 in itself) and see if it fixes your issues
Colin, thanks for suggesting I take a second look at this. Using kernel-2.6.9-1.3_FC2, my laptop no longer hangs when put into S3 sleep mode. It sleeps when asked and comes back when asked. Hooray! There are a few outstanding problems. The internal LCD display remains illuminated, and the kernel prints debug messages regarding calling a "sleeping function" from an "invalid context". However, the hang is gone, so this bug is now resolved. I will file two new reports for the outstanding problems noted above.
