[SOLVED] Weird suspend problem - please help

Hi,

I tried today a new MSI G41M-P25 (Intel G41 Chipset) motherboard together with a Nvidia GT 210 graphics card .. everything works fine .. only suspend does not work

Suspend itself is entered successfully, but when I try to wake the machine up, it reboot/"rewakes" endlessy, I can hear that from the noise of the dvd burner powering up everytime.

That is a bit strange, because normal pm-utils errors are black screen or not-entering-suspend. But endlessly trying to wake up from suspend - I did not find much about that one in google.

I really hope that is fixable somehow and not this kind of bug which is never gonna be fixed

I tried s2ram, not working (but machine ist not listed in their list).

pm-suspend.log does not show any problems.

I also tried different bios settings, maybe there is some problem, but I did not figure it out.

Please help me!

I also have problems with suspend and hibernate, and noticed it's linked somehow to virtualbox. Suspend and hibernate were not working properly when a virtual machine was started and had the focus. (It seemed to work if the VM was minimized though). Haven't found a solution yet unfortunately ....

There are several reports about this, but I do not have any vm soft (like virtualbox, vmware, etc.) installed on that machine

Do you have any other software installed which kernel module needs to be recompiled after every kernel upgrade?

Regards

mhh no, I even tried a live system (Ubuntu), same problem.

But I think I can not debug it ... it only wakes 5 seconds up -> off -> tries to wake 5 seconds up -> off -> ...-> repeating until I power it off (hard).

Maybe a hardware issue? Any ideas how to find out what is going on?
