Description of problem: pm-hibernate fails in shutting down the machine. A lot of status msgs appear concerning shrinking memory, etc. After the messages that says 'syncing [...] sda [...]' the system stays at message indefinately and starts using cpu cycles, as I can hear from the cpu-fans that start blowing faster. After manually resetting the machine it returns from hibernate, and restores the system to the state before hibernating. pm-hibernate worked in fc6. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pm-utils-0.99.3-2.fc7 How reproducible: run pm-hibernate in terminal, or click the hibernate button in gnome. Steps to Reproduce: 1. hibernate the machine using pm-hibernate 2. wait for machine to shutdown Actual results: - machine starts eating cpu - required to manually reset machine - recovers from hibernate as expected after being switched on Expected results: - machine shuts down automatically - recovers from hibernate as expected after being switched on Additional info: machine: Dell OPTIPLEX GX280 3.2Ghz, 1GiB RAM 80GB harddisk on /dev/sda selinux enabled in permissive mode kernel-2.6.21-1.3116.fc7 (same behavior with earlier fc7 kernels, I started from test3) bios set to S3
Created attachment 153932 [details] extract of kernel messages, seems to be of restore, nothing on actual hibernate itself

Can you try some of the quirks in http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/ please - thanks!
I tried pm-hibernate just now, and it seems to work fine. Clean hibernate, shutdown and thaw. However, while reading the quirks-website, I noticed pm-suspend doesn't succeed in returning from suspend. I tried some combinations of parameters, but nothing seemed to work, until I got tired of force-shutdowning my pc. I noticed both S3-related params result in a complete shutdown. On a rare occasion I am able to login through ssh and reboot, other times the monitor stays off and the pc doesn't respond to anything (including ping). I will do some testing later. The quirks-site seems down for the moment.
(In reply to comment #4) > I will do some testing later. The quirks-site seems down for the moment. Did you do more testing? Does it work now?
Steven, can you please test, whether it does still not work for you? I cannot check this, because I do not have access to a notebook like yours.
The machine is a desktop computer at my work. Hibernate still works fine. Suspend has the same problem. I did not re-try the quirks. When I find the time, in the next two weeks, I will look into this.
On a completely update F7 using the ATI radeon driver, both suspend and hibernate appear to be working correctly.
