Suspend worked fine in f14 but does not work in f16. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): pm-utils-1.4.1-12.fc16.x86_64 kernel-3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do pm-suspend 2. Wait. The screen turns black and then activates again and asks for the password Actual results: The machine tries to suspend but immediately wakes up again. Expected results: Suspend.

Funny thing: the bios of the e4200 offers three different options for the tpm module: a) disabled b) enabled but deactivated c) enabled and activated I had the laptop configured to state b) and the above errors were generated. Apparently the tpm-utilities and the kernel cannot cope with a visable but not available tpm module (f14 could by the way). I now have the laptop configured to state c) and everything works. The tpm messages during the kernel boot are gone too: [ 1.214843] tpm_tis 00:0b: 1.2 TPM (device-id 0x2001, rev-id 48) [ 3.245103] tpm_tis 00:0b: Adjusting TPM timeout parameters. I still leave as an open bug, because the kernel should be able to cope with state b) too. It works for me now.
[mass update] kernel-3.3.0-4.fc16 has been pushed to the Fedora 16 stable repository. Please retest with this update.
