Description of problem: When my ThinkPad X60s running FC6 is hibernated (using /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate), the battery drains slowly, loosing approximately 8% per day of hibernation. When the laptop is turned off, the battery stays full. After waking up from hibernation and seeing the lower battery level, I have rebooted and checked the level again, so I don't think it is a battery level reporting problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.19-1.2895.fc6 pm-utils-0.19-3 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Remember battery level 2. /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate 3. wait a few days 4. turn laptop on and read new battery level Actual results: Battery level has fallen with approximately 8% for every day hibernated. Expected results: Battery level should be the same as when laptop was hibernated, since this is what happens if laptop is simply turned off. Additional info:
This problem can be worked around by removing the battery after hibernating and then plugging it back in after a few seconds. This causes the battery to remain full, and the laptop still resumes flawlessly. So there is probably some part of the laptop that is not turned off completely by the hibernate function.
(This is a mass-update to all current FC6 kernel bugs in NEW state) Hello, I'm reviewing this bug list as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the Fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug, however this version of Fedora is no longer maintained. Please attempt to reproduce this bug with a current version of Fedora (presently Fedora 8). If the bug no longer exists, please close the bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no further information lodged. Thanks for using Fedora!
(received via e-mail from reporter) Please make all comments in this bug, not via e-mail to me. Thanks! Thanks a lot for looking into this! I am using Fedora 8 now, and I will check if the problem still persists. Since I posted the bug report I have gotten used to just removing and reinserting the battery after I hibernate, so I don't know if there is still a problem. I will write back in a couple of days!

Ok, I hibernated on a full batery two days ago and just resumed it. The battery has dropped to 85%, so it looks like there is still a problem. I'm using Fedora 8 now, kernel-2.6.23.9-85.fc8, pm-utils-0.99.4-6.fc8.1cubbi_tuxonice. And I'm still using /usr/sbin/pm-hibernate. (I should have a 100% FC8 kernel + modules, but I'm not sure if pm-utils-0.99.4-6.fc8.1cubbi_tuxonice is the original Fedora package? I'm happy to retry with another pm-hibernate.) Anders
