592966 – System won't hibernate

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.

Can you boot with the no_console_suspend boot argument, switch to a console, log in as root, run pm-hibernate and let me know what the final output is?

Comment 4 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-11 08:00:18 UTC

Hello, I booted RHEL with following setup:

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/rootvg-rhel6_root rd_LVM_LV=rootvg/rhel6_root rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet crashkernel=auto no_console_suspend
        initrd /initramfs-2.6.32-33.el6.x86_64.img


I used hibernation via hotkey (fn+F12) and it ended by turning of the laptop. Hibernation diod stopped to blink in the middle of shutdowning process.

(Sorry for delay)

Comment 5 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-11 08:01:12 UTC

Machine is Thinkpad T400 (with latest RHEL6 updates).

Comment 6 Matthew Garrett 2010-06-11 13:24:40 UTC

So it hibernated successfully?

Comment 7 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-23 15:28:12 UTC

Works for me now.

kernel-2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64
pm-utils-1.2.5-7.el6.x86_64

title Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64)
    root (hd0,0)
    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-37.el6.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/rootvg-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=rootvg/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=rootvg/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us crashkernel=auto no_console_suspend


(Works now also without no_console_suspend parameter)
