Description of problem: I am running kde 3.5.6 with kernel-2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 and kpowersave 0.7-2. When I run 'Suspend to Disk' or 'Suspend to RAM' both hibernating and suspending initiate. However, when I try to resume from 'Suspend to Disk', the kernel boots and brings me to a blank screen with a blinking cursor. It fails to resume and requires me to hold down the power button to restart. When I try to resume from 'Suspend to Disk', my lights on my laptop flicker and my laptop appears to freeze and requires a hard shutdown to restart. I expect both 'Suspend to RAM' and 'Suspend to Disk' to bring me to a kde prompt requiring my password. This is always reproducible. My laptop is a lenovo 3000 n100.
Using the following developmental kernel ... Fedora (2.6.23-0.15.rc0.git1.fc8) from http://people.redhat.com/~davej/ allows my laptop to properly suspend/hibernate. However, this is not a viable option for everyday use as several modules fail (as expected) rendering my system worse off then with the stock F7 kernel.
Hello Chris, I'm reviewing this bug 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 and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel as you have indicated this may be resolved. If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
This bug has been fixed in kernel 2.6.22 currently in F7.
