(solved ... kind of) What's wrong with eee 1000h? (suspend2ram)

Cdh · 2009-07-22 10:13:05

Hi

I have an eee 1000h and have Archlinux running. I played around with it so maybe it's an old configuration problem...
Now I use acpi-eee-generic from AUR to use all the hotkeys which works fine.

Suspend to Disk also works flawlessly, my problem lies in suspend to ram.
With Kernel 2.6.28 everything worked.
With Kernel 2.6.29 in the beginning int worked too, but later after some updates it stopped working. With "stopped working" I mean it suspends well, power led switches to blinking. When trying to wake it, the power led changes to constant light, but that's everything that happens. Screen remains black, no response to keyboard and sysrq keys (they are enabled).
After an update to 2.6.30 it suddenly worked again.
After a recent update it stopped working again.

I have no idea what the problem is and what log files to look at... The pm-suspend log does not show something that shouldn't be there.
Someone here in the forums suggested s2ram from uswsusp but it doesn't wake up either with this (I had to use s2ram --force, because it didn't know the eee 1000h).

Anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have a suggestion what to do about it?

Why do you install every new patch? I've jut lookup the other people bugs, like yours, and i deceide to update or now ))

Have you ruled X driver problem? When you resume, does the harddisk spin at all, or can you ping it from another machine?

Why do I update...? Because I want to have an up-to-date system....

Hard Disk is starting, gives no answer to ping. But I use network manager + nm-applet which would reconnect anyway after successfully waking up.

Still not working.
I mean... I don't find much about such a bug... I guess there are many people running Archlinux on their eee. Does suspend2ram work for them? Or do they just don't care?
I don't know how to find information about it and I also don't know where the bug is: kernel, xorg, intel driver, eee module, ...?

It doesn't work when I have no x at all running and call /etc/acpi/eeepc/acpi-eeepc-generic-suspend2ram.sh (also when calling pm-suspend or s2ram -f (-f since the eee 1000h is not known to s2ram))

2.6.31 now. It's getting worse. It goes to sleep well but then it refuses to do anything - Pressing keys does not do anything and even pressing the power button 4+ seconds does not give any reaction - the power led and the led on the power button keep flashing like in standby mode.

I still don't know wether this is only a problem for me or wether other arch users experience the same... nothing in the bugtracker, nothing in the forums...?

edit: I just tested:
With linux mint on an usb stick and kernel 2.6.30 from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.30.3 suspend2ram works without problems.

edit2: Wait... I tested it while the A/C adapter was attached... actually in Arch it does also work when the A/C adapter is attached. My battery is almost empty so this was maybe the reason it would not wake up (it does refuse to power on with a nearly empty battery, too)

I have a Asus EEE 900, and have similar problems. After switching on KMS I have not been able to resume from hibernation properly. The system goes back up, but the screen remains black after flickering for a few seconds. I can ping and log in via ssh though, so for me it is a problem related to X.

Sure, I could switch off KMS, but would lose the extra performance it gives, especially with the .31-kernel.. Haven't had time to look in to it properly, and hope it will get fixed by itself with the new Intel drivers.

So, you are not alone.

Actually it works now without problems. I guess the problem with 2.6.31 with me was only that my battery was nearly empty...
I also have KMS enabled.

Or maybe it's because I did a suspend one time with linux mint on the usb stick (no KMS there) and it resettet some strange hardware state? I don't know and am only happy that it works now.
