Dell Vostro 1400 not resuming from pm-hibernate.

For some reason my laptop won't resume after hibernating with pm-hibernate.

I have added the resume hook to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and the swap drive to /boot/grub/menu.lst.

Is s2disk reports no error when creating image file and the hook is run on next boot but it doesn't work.

dmesg output:

PM: Checking image partition /dev/sda6
PM: Resume from disk failed.
PM: Starting manual resume from disk
PM: Resume from partition 8:6
PM: Checking hibernation image.
PM: Error -22 checking image file
PM: Resume from disk failed.

Any ideas?

Show us the output to the following commands: "df -h" and "free".

Re: Dell Vostro 1400 not resuming from pm-hibernate.

What does the "Hooks" line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf look like?  I have 'resume' second from last, before 'filesystem'.

Also, did you run `mkinitcpio -p kernel26` after updating /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?

Re: Dell Vostro 1400 not resuming from pm-hibernate.

you also need to add to the kernel boot line:

resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/aabf9ab7-ce2c-4d1e-9975-3157ee1352bd

with the appropiate uuid for your swap partition

Re: Dell Vostro 1400 not resuming from pm-hibernate.

Also, is your memory larger than your swap size?  It looks a bit bigger from the output of your 'free' command.  In which case, I suspect resume from hibernation might never work.

Re: Dell Vostro 1400 not resuming from pm-hibernate.

As I said in the OP I have added the resume hook in the correct place and the swap drive to the boot line using uuid instead of as /dev/sda6, this did not help.

I've ran mkinitcpio -p kernel26 aswell.

The swap drive is a little bit smaller than the RAM maybe, but according to the wiki the resume-image is most often smaller than the actual memory
size so this should work.

The wierdest part is that I have used pm-hibernate successfully on this 
computer before.
