[Solved] Thinkpad T41 will not wake from suspend

As the topic says, my Thinkpad just doesn't want to wake up. It suspends fine: screen goes dark, fan stops, hard drive parks, and the little "moon" icon on the LEDS lights, but it won't wake up. When I press the power  button, you can hear the hard drive spinning up, and about ten seconds later the fan turns on,  but that's where it ends. This happens with both the pm-utils suspend and the systemctl suspend. Here's my pm-suspend.log file, and here's the output of lsmod.

Re: [Solved] Thinkpad T41 will not wake from suspend

Is this a new installation or did it start after an update ?

You could try to downgrade the kernel to see if you find a version that works...

Re: [Solved] Thinkpad T41 will not wake from suspend

It's a new installation. I DID put Debian Wheezy on it (on another hard drive), and that does work with suspend (same DE), so it's probably a bug introduced somewhere between 3.2 and 3.17. According to a user here (Post 53) with the same laptop, suspend doesn't work for them either. I'm going to have to say it's a kernel bug.

It turns out it's a systemd bug. Suspend works with Debian "jessie" as long as I use sysvinit. Systemd, however, won't work.

If it is 32bit, there is currently a kernel bug for resume (see report for work-around): https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42820

If anybody has been watching this thread, the update to 3.18 fixed suspend.
