Description of problem: If my T60 is suspended (suspend-to-ram), it powers off completely when I plug it into my docking station. I then have to turn it on with the power button. When I log in I get a dialog saying the resume failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-84.el5 gnome-power-manager-2.16.0-9.el5 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use gnome-power-manager menu or Fn-F4 to suspend. 2. Plug the laptop into the docking station 3. Actual results: Laptop changes to a state of not suspended but plugged in to AC and charging battery Expected results: I am able to resume from suspend with it docked. Additional info: I would be happy to supply logs, but with the sudden power off, I doubt there are any.
Does booting with "acpi_sleep=s3_bios" as a boot arg help any?
acpi_sleep=s3_bios does help. I cycled suspend and resume in and out of the dock a 6 or 7 times and only once did it power off when I docked it. That was in a different dock. I will test more.
thanks, adding to RHEL5.2 release notes under "Known Issues": <quote> IBM T60 laptops will power off completely when suspended and plugged into a docking station. To avoid this, boot the system with the argument acpi_sleep=s3_bios. </quote> please advise if any further revisions are required. thanks!
Hi, the RHEL5.2 release notes will be dropped to translation on April 15, 2008, at which point no further additions or revisions will be entertained. a mockup of the RHEL5.2 release notes can be viewed at the following link: http://intranet.corp.redhat.com/ic/intranet/RHEL5u2relnotesmockup.html please use the aforementioned link to verify if your bugzilla is already in the release notes (if it needs to be). each item in the release notes contains a link to its original bug; as such, you can search through the release notes by bug number. Cheers, Don
I also see the same issue when I dock the laptop when running (not suspended). Is that a corrallary of this bug or a different bug? The annoying thing is that it is not every time, but more that half the time that laptop powers off.
Its the same bug if the workaround in Comment #1 solves the problem. If not its a seperate bug and a bugzilla should be opened for that issue as well.
