Thanks you djpharoah !

Your kernel is such a great thing.
With undervolt, i won at least thirty minutes !
Great

i just followed the INSTALL file in the .gz file one difference that might make a difference is that Arch puts the bonobo libraries in a different location than the default that's mentioned in the INSTALL. use /opt/gnome/lib/bonobo/servers instead

How exactly did you get the hdaps_applet to work in gnome? It doesnt appear in my gnome-menu as an applet option.

aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Well - i couldnt get hdaps to get my harddrive to go into protect mode - apparently it has something to do with the firmware of the harddrive. I find that ridiculous since the harddrive works with the Thinkpad protection system in windows...

but whatever.. that feature is the least of my concern .

karsten · 2006-08-11 03:12:56

i couldn't either. was shaking it even gotta be a way somehow. how do you get video back after Fn-F4 sleep mode? my monitor doesnt come back

Dont use Fn+F4 to sleep. Use the hibernate command to sleep/suspend.

Mine woks with Fn+F4.

Suspend and resume?

hmm.. I havent tried that. Will try when I get home.

cougar · 2006-08-11 14:55:27

Yep, and only with your kernel !

Thx, that helped. I'm now able to hibernate. Too bad my system starts normaly after that, in other words it doesn't resume.

Try hibernating with just this as your kernel line. I have a feeling that your vesafb-tng parameters might be causing an issue. Also noticed you dont have an initrd in your kernel boot config. It is neccessary to have that to resume from hibernation.

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26thinkpad root=/dev/sda7 resume2=swap:/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/kernel26thinkpad.img

Sigi · 2006-08-11 18:30:24

The initrd-thing is in for sure. Next time I'll post the whole menu.lst... ;-)

I'll try your tip as soon as I find the time to, thanks.

My kernel hacking guru friends tell me that vesafb-tng is sometimes the cause of resuming issues. Thats why i was hesistant about putting in the pathset. However it worked out fine for me and many others.

Thanks a lot. It works!

But I don't think it was the vesafb thing. My kernel-line now looks like this:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26thinkpad root=/dev/sda7 resume2=swap:/dev/sda2 video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1400x1050-32@50 splash=verbose,theme:darch quiet console=tty1

As you see, the vesafb parameter is still there. The mistake I made was that in my last few tries, one line in /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf was outcommented instead of looking like this:

SuspendDevice swap:/dev/sda2

:oops: Thank you for all for your help. The thinkpad-kernel really rocks!

djpharoah · 2006-08-12 02:09:31

Hey - awesome!!

Glad its working for you.

k how about getting one working for gnome?

Unfortunately, I own a Lenovo T60 (ipw3945 / Ati x1300 @ 1400x1050). My problem with nearly every kernel is that the framebuffer is not working (did anyone get this working on such a T60?). I tried
video=vesafb:ywrap,mtrr,1400x1050-32@50
but that leads to a smashed boot screen until X comes up. :'(
Will there be an ipw3945 package for this great thinkpad kernel?

Did you try radeonfb?

Hey thanks for the kind words.

Yes - there will be ipw3945 drivers soon. A word of advice is that if your having issues with suspension dont use vesafb or radeonfb boot paramters. They might be the cause of your issues.

phrakture · 2006-08-13 06:25:21

So for the record, this kernel fails on the T60. So does beyond. I have a feeling it's the vesafb-tng. It boots, takes maybe 1 second to show the logo and boot info, then blanks and never comes back. I haven't had the time to diagnose, as I've just booted right back into the stock kernel (which works fine).

Can you try the kernel again with the lines that turn off vesa i nyour grub config?

Thank god. I'm not the only person
Indeed, the beyond Kernel doesn't work out of the box. I got it working turning the vesafb off via
video=vesafb:off
that should work for djpharoah's Thinkpad kernel, too.

Oh, nice job, man! BTW, did you report this to iphitus? It might be worth noting to him that vesafb-tng isn't 100% stable.
Thanks for the tip, I didn't have the time to research that one.

fk · 2006-08-14 19:56:53

ok i have any Problems...

1. I must have an video=vesafb:off at the kernel line, or I get a black screen when booting.

2. I load the speedstep-centrino an ondemand module at boot, but it fails, says no such device... why?

The Problems after these Line are solved

[solved]

!!I have forgot to add the "resume" Hook to mkinitcpio.conf, after generating new mkinitcpio.img it works

3. Suspend works, but resume notm it seems that i have a problem with my swap

Unable to find swap-space signature

edit: I have these Problem ony after hibernate, If I shutdown normally , no problem
