This used to work in FC1 and 2. Here it report a kernel BUG and hangs. Due to the freezing, I cant save the output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. build and install swsusp enabled kernel 2. echo 4 >> /proc/acpi/sleep 3. Additional info:
Does echo 3 have any better luck?
Forgot to mention: The machine is HP nx9000 (Laptop). On this machine suspend to RAM (sleep mode 3) never worked. I.e. it never succeeded to fully resume. I think it got to do with the BIOS, but i'm not sure.
swsusp isn't enabled in our builds for precisely reasons like this, it just isn't ready for production.
