From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: APM hangs on resume from a suspend-to-ram if a suspend-to-disk have not been performed at least once since the last (re)boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. do a suspend-to-ram on a laptop where the suspend-to-disk have not been performed since the last (re)boot 2. try to resume ... system hangs Actual Results: system hang, the apm script is not started Expected Results: normal resume operation Additional info: Known laptops affected so far: - Dell Inspiron 8000, bios A21 (latest), (my machine) - Dell Inspiron 4100 (found on linux-dell-laptops mailing list) amp used too work as expected on RedHat 7.3 Workaround: After a (re)boot do a suspend-to-disk once.
Same error here, but with both suspend to RAM and suspend to Disk functions. It occurs whenever the lid is closed on battery power or the apm -s/S commands are issued. I've never had a successful resume from a suspend to disk or suspend to RAM function. Dell Latitude C800
from linux-dell-laptops: Dell Inspiron 8100 may also be affected.
This sounds like more of a BIOS or kernel issue than an apmd issue.

Could very well be a BIOS or kernel issue. But it works as expected in RedHAt 7.3 and IIRC RedHat 9 I did put it here because I thought is the most appropriate place, and to let people know about this non-obvious workaround.
Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
