Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: S3 never worked for me Distribution: Fedora Core 4 Hardware Environment: Asus z71v notebook Software Environment: bios 0210 / gcc-4.0.2 / nvidia driver 8178 Problem Description: Suspend-to-ram doesn't resume: the machine freezes (black screen) and the CPU fan runs at highest speed. Under Windows S3 works and the CPU fan also goes on after S3 resume, but only briefly. I experimented a lot: suspending from text console, setting polling_frequency to 1, disabling frame buffer devices, passing on acpi_sleep parameters to the kernel, etc - google produces many pages that give S3 advice ... No changes whatsoever. Steps to reproduce: hmm, I guess installing FC4 on a z71v and trying to get S3 working ;-)

same with 2.6.22.stable? Re: video -- any luck with Documentation/power/video.txt workarounds? > 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce Go 6600] > (rev a2) I recommend that you try both the open-source driver and the binary from nvidia.
please re-open if this is still a problem in linux-2.6.22.stable or later
