Description J. Ali Harlow 2007-10-30 08:28:02 UTC
Description of problem:
Suspend to RAM appears to work correctly, but attempting to resume results in a
black screen (no backlight) at which point the only remedy appears to be a power
cycle.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.23.1-10.fc7
(hal-0.5.9-8.fc7)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use "Stand By" metakey to activate suspend to RAM
2. Press power button to resume.
  
Actual results:
After a few seconds of activity, the machine stops with a black screen.

Expected results:
Resumption of previous session

Additional info:
Works fine if I boot the previous kernel (kernel-2.6.22.9-91.fc7).
May well be a duplicate of bug #312981.

kernel-2.6.23.1-21.fc7 has the same problem.

Comment 2 Christopher Brown 2008-01-16 03:07:46 UTC
Hello,

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?

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.

Comment 3 J. Ali Harlow 2008-01-16 07:53:42 UTC
Hi,

Yes, still having problems with the latest F7 kernel (kernel-2.6.23.12-52.fc7).

Thanks.

Comment 4 Christopher Brown 2008-01-16 13:23:34 UTC
Thanks for the update. Please can you attach contents of:

Information requested provided (random comment to get status back to NEW).

Comment 9 Christopher Brown 2008-01-16 20:38:04 UTC
Thank you for that. Could you take a look at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelCommonProblems

and review the section entitled Suspend/Resume to RAM Failure as this will help
is debug the issue further. In particular running:

pm-suspend ; dmesg > dmesg.out ; sync

as this writes a dmesg.out file which, if you could attach to this bug, would
also help.

dmesg output just after rebooting with pm_trace enabled

Ok, having read that page, I see that that Caps Lock key is non-functional. I
tried to use pm_trace as suggested, but while my date gets corrupted, there are
no entries in dmesg as described. I attach the full dmesg output in case it is
useful.

Comment 11 Christopher Brown 2008-01-16 22:53:06 UTC
You could try unloading the iwl3945 module before suspend:

# modprobe -r iwl3945

You may need to being down the network interface first. If you still have the
same issue try also removing the b44 and firewire modules.

Comment 12 J. Ali Harlow 2008-01-16 23:29:15 UTC
Removing the b44 module solves the problem. Sadly this kills my network interface!

Comment 13 J. Ali Harlow 2008-01-16 23:45:17 UTC
And adding SUSPEND_MODULES="b44" to /etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules fixes the
problem properly so this is a duplicate of bug #242234.
