[SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

I wasn't suspending to RAM my laptop for a long time... but today I just needed to do that...
I remember b4 (like 2weeks ago) my suspend worked fine but today it just hangs... I was using pm-utils so I typed 

pm-suspend

and laptop started to suspending but then it hangs in black screen with cursor in the left upper corner of my screen, while my LED suspend indicator was blinking all the time... So I rebooted and tested hibernate but with same effect...

/var/log/pm-suspend.log looks normally

/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video suspend suspend: success.
Fri Jul 29 02:42:59 CEST 2011: performing suspend

I was searching over the Internet.. so I tested 's2ram' software, everything looked fine but again... same problem.. system hangs with blinking LED.

Do you know how to fix this... I don't use suspend to RAM every day but sometimes I really need it... it worked before so there must be some simple fix.

[my laptop is ThinkPad X201i, 32bit Arch]

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

I've had no problems with
echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state
With the recent kernel updates it only takes a second to resume.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

Hello,

I am having exactly the same problem.
Suspend worked with clean F15 install. Then sudenly stopped working.
Effect: machine preparing to suspend, half-moon light blinking, after couple of secs caps-lock light starts blinking as well and computer hangs
I am using Thinkpad T61

[root@thinkpad ~]# s2ram -i
This machine can be identified by:
    sys_vendor   = "LENOVO"
    sys_product  = "64574XG"
    sys_version  = "ThinkPad T61"
    bios_version = "7LETC6WW (2.26 )"

Have tried to change kernel, used 2.6.38.6-26 , 2.6.38.8-35
now using kernel 2.6.40-4.fc15.i686 - did not help

tried to check pm-suspend.log - no error there and last line look like:

/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99video suspend suspend: success.
Tue Aug  2 14:07:43 CEST 2011: performing suspend

any help appreciated

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

I fixed this with clean arch installation... its working now with pm-utils.... but to be honest... I really don't know where was the problem..

Ouch...reinstall?! Kinda sounds like overkill :0)

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

The cause of this for me is the Virtual Box kernel modules. When I run: "sudo rmmod vboxdrv" my machine suspends. Really don't wanna pull those modules out of /etc/rc.conf, but I suspend more than I run Virtual Box. Works for now I guess

Thanks davidcollins4481!
The problem is, as you mention, in the vboxdrv. After vboxdrv removal, suspend works great.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

Nice. I added this to handle loading/unloading the vbox kernel modules during suspend/resume:

create (as root obviously, perms: 644):
/etc/pm/config.d/modules

add:
SUSPEND_MODULES="vboxdrv"

now add 'vboxdrv' back to:
MODULES=(vboxdrv !pcspkr)

in /etc/rc.conf...now everything is working great. DO NOTE THOUGH IF YOU DO THIS:

Adding this file overrides the modules in:
/usr/lib/pm-utils/defaults (which you shouldn't edit)

So if there are modules listed here in 'SUSPEND_MODULES', copy those to your new version.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

Thank you davidcollins4481 !

tested and works for me as well
I use virtualbox often, but suspend even more often so removing/installing vboxdrv modules seems reasonable enough until it will be fixed in virtualbox release (hopefully)

good job!
Thanks smile

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

I use thinkpad T410, and I have this problem recently(which just appeared several days ago after a update) too. I have tried pm-utils and uswsusp, and what you said above, but I do not succeed.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

@davidcollins4481: how did you find out it's caused by this module? Is this discussed on the LKML?

In my case 

modprobe -r kvm_intel

did the trick.

Thanks!

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

Looks like this issue may have been solved by the latest virtualbox update.

I was having this same problem on my T61p and it persisted even after updating to kernel 3.0.  Looks like a new virtualbox was released today, after upgrading everything is now working normally, no need to remove vboxdrv from modules.  Good thing too, I use vbox a lot!

This doesn't apply to T410 tragically.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

With X60S,me too, after upgrading to 3.0, my LED suspend indicator was blinking all the time,i had to dropped to 2.6.39, I think this is the kernel of the problem.

I agree with you, suspend does not work after I upgrade my kernel to 3.0.

I have downgraded to 2.6.39, it works wonderfully, hope this problem will be solved in the next kernel update.

Re: [SOLVED] ThinkPad suspend-to-RAM problem

Oddly, on my T420, With the the 3.0 kernel and the latest Virtualbox update, I have had absolutely no problems with pm-suspend. Nor have I ever had problems with Virtualbox and pm-suspend.
