Last modified: 2008-04-09 20:25:34 EDT
Description of problem: Putting a toshiba satellite notebok in a powersaving mode freezes the system. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get toshiba satellite with fc6 installed. 2. Put it in a power save mode (hibernate or suspend) from any runlevel (e.g. press a proper Gnome power manager button within a Hnome session). 3. Wait for the notebook to switch to the powersaving mode. 4. Try to wake it up. Actual results: The system is frozen to death. Expected results: Should be able to wake up and go on operating. Additional info: The notebook is `Toshiba SP20-304 GR', the model number: `PSP23E-0254K-GR'. If this makes sense to you.
Sorry for the really slow response. Have you been able to try a newer kernel or Fedora release, and does it help at all? (Work on hibernation and suspend to ram is going on all the time, so you can generally expect that newer kernels will improve the situation).

> > We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. > To my regret I cannot upgrade to a later Fedora release as since Fedora 7 PATA disks are always treated as SCSI disks and SCSI disks cannot contain more than 15 partitions, while I do have more than twenty of them. It seems I should have to switch to some other Linux distribution. OTOH, I had handed that ugly notebook over, so anyway I can provide no info on the bug anymore.
thanks giving us an update
