Acer Aspire 4736z need to get Suspend/Hibernate working

Hi,

I tried following the guide at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sus … ate-script to suspend my laptop. When I issue:

# hibernate -F /etc/hibernate/ususpend-disk.conf

I get the message that the contents are being saved to disk and the laptop shuts of properly, but when I reboot it does not resume back to it's original state but does a normal boot.

Can someone please shed some light on this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Acer Aspire 4736z need to get Suspend/Hibernate working

I've seen the page you refer to,
it seems to me a bit fuzzy - have a look
on the top of the page

have you tried pm-utils instead of this?

Thanks a lot for pointing out that article. In this case hibernate works but suspend to disk causes the same issue. It saves the snapshot but does not resume from it. The grub entries are also fine.

In my case, to get hibernate to work, I had to add "suspend"  to HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, then " mkinitcpio -p kernel26" to rebuild the image.  Now booting checks for a ram image (aspire 532h).

I tried adding the suspend hook, I get this error which rebuilding the image.

FATAL: Hook 'suspend' can not be found.

Although i have added "resume" to HOOKS.

Oops!  Type in haste, repent at leisure.  I meant add "resume" of course.  This certainly fixed it for me.

To state the obvious, you do have a "resume=<device>" entry in grub, right?

Re: Acer Aspire 4736z need to get Suspend/Hibernate working

Yes I do have that entry in the menu.lst file.

kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/a39731bb-fc4d-47c6-a746-6600f7ef4e1e ro usbcore.autosuspend=1 i915.modeset=1 resume=/dev/sda5

/dev/sda5 is my swap partition.

Here's a few lines from dmesg

PM: Starting manual resume from disk
PM: Resume from partition 8:5
PM: Checking hibernation image.
PM: Error -22 checking image file
PM: Resume from disk failed.

Any idea what an error -22 means?? Wrong partition? No image?

Re: Acer Aspire 4736z need to get Suspend/Hibernate working

I have just realized (after some hibernate testing) that we are talking about different "hibernates".  I use "pm-hibernate" from pm-utils and the machine saves and powers down.  Pressing the power button resumes without problem and no message "Starting manual resume ..." (manual resume?)

So perhaps the pm-utils package will solve your problems.

I am actually using pm-utils and facing the problem.

Actually yes It seems like a better option. I tried it out and I'm still not able to get hibernate working. Attaching the dmesg output. Hoping to find a solution to this issue:

Re: Acer Aspire 4736z need to get Suspend/Hibernate working

After a bit of tweaking I'm now getting the "BIG FAT WARNING!" at boot. How can I go about debugging this? I'm using kernel26-rt-ice btw. The kernel26-ice was not finding a patch it was trying to download. I think that should not make a difference. Hope I'm not wrong.
