RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

dmesg

Description of problem:

I'm seeing a problem that is similar to that described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=575898 where gnome-power-manager doesn't think that my T500 can hibernate.  However in this case the output of

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power --print-reply /org/freedesktop/DeviceKit/Power org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.Hibernate

is:

Error org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power.GeneralError: No kernel support

I first ran into this while using encrypted volumes, but reinstalled with no encryption to debug it, and the problem persists.  dmesg is attached.

I tried to use the "resume=" kernel arg described elsewhere, but ran into the problem described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588354

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 004-14-el6


How reproducible: always
Comment 2 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-12 05:58:44 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.

then you have to give dracut a hint that it should activate the swap partition as well...

e.g. if it is on a LVM logical volume, add rd_LVM_LV=vg_hostname/lv_swap ... or remove all rd_LVM_* parameters
Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2010-05-12 09:25:19 UTC 
see also bug 572771
Comment 5 Devin Reade 2010-05-12 21:36:55 UTC 
Please reopen this as the above is not a fix.

I tried the following variants, independently:
  + removed all rd_LVM_* parameters
  + added rd_LVM_LV=vg0/swap
  + with and without acpi_sleep=s3_bios

In all cases, I get the following:

# lshal | grep can_suspend
  power_management.can_suspend = true  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_to_disk = false  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_to_ram = true  (bool)

The dbus-send command originally described still returns "No kernel support"
Comment 6 Harald Hoyer 2010-05-14 10:28:00 UTC 
this is not a dracut bug, then..
Comment 7 Devin Reade 2010-05-14 16:25:21 UTC 
Perhaps it's not due to dracut, but it is still a problem.  Per the submission guidelines, I made a guess as to the component.

Perhaps it could be reopened and assigned elsewhere, then? (I'm limited to changing it to "assigned", but it's not clear to me that that is the correct state in the bugzilla workflow since the previous state was NEW.)

If additional diags/info are needed to figure out from where this problem originates, I'd be happy to assist.  I just don't know right now what to look for.
Comment 8 Devin Reade 2010-05-14 16:35:20 UTC 
When changing the kernel args, was I supposed to do any other steps like regenerate initramfs or anything?  All I did was change kernel args and reboot.
Comment 9 Devin Reade 2010-05-21 04:36:24 UTC 
Ok, I've reinstalled F12 on the exact same machine and hibernation works for that distro.

lshal on F12 shows:

$ lshal | grep can_suspend
  power_management.can_suspend = true  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_hybrid = false  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_to_disk = true  (bool)
  power_management.can_suspend_to_ram = true  (bool)

So what diagnostics do you need me to retrieve to determine the difference in
this case between RHEL6 and F12?  If you need to pass this bug off to someone else please do so, but *please* don't just close it off with a "works for me".  Thanks.

I will attach the F12 dmesg (which is a lower version of the kernel).

reassigning to component kernel
Comment 12 RHEL Program Management 2010-07-15 14:02:29 UTC 
This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker
issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has
been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.

** If you would still like this issue considered for the current
release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on
your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next
Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. **
Comment 13 Stanislaw Gruszka 2010-10-26 06:35:17 UTC 
I have T-500 on my desk and hibernate works. 

Devin, did you try updated kernel? You can download one from http://people.redhat.com/sgruszka/rhel6/bz628409/ . Please check if it works for you.
