Problem Description:
My laptop can't resume form STR. With pm_trace I get this in dmesg:
  Magic number: 0:865:376
  hash matches drivers/base/power/main.c:97


Steps to reproduce:
echo mem > /sys/power/state

dmesg

the problem also occurs without the nvidia proprietary module loaded.

Comment 2 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-01-12 15:31:01 UTC

Please apply the patches from:
http://www.sisk.pl/kernel/hibernation_and_suspend/2.6.24-rc7/patches/
on top of 2.6.24-rc7, compile the kernel with CONFIG_PM_DEBUG set, install it,
boot it (without the nvidia module) and do:

# echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
# echo mem > /sys/power/state

(it should run the suspend sequence without actually suspending, busy loop for 5 seconds and run the resume sequence).

New dmesg with pm_test = core

This is the dmesg after:
# echo 8 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk
# echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
# echo mem > /sys/power/state

Comment 4 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-01-13 13:10:28 UTC

This means the problem occurs when the system sleep state is actually entered or that it's fixed by one of the patches in the series.

Can you check if normal suspend works with these patches?

Also, can you please verify that s2ram doesn't help (http://suspend.sourceforge.net/docs.shtml)?

Comment 5 Alessandro Guido 2008-01-13 14:57:49 UTC

eh, actually it seems I found a way to make STR work on my laptop: suspending from X using the proprietary nvidia module!

using the free "nv" module doesn't work as doesn't work trying to suspend from console with nvidia.ko loaded but without X running.

So, is this the best I can get? I mean, should I try to debug it furtherly or will I never make any progress?

Btw I'm going to try if a plain 2.6.24-rc7 without those patches will work.

Comment 6 Alessandro Guido 2008-01-13 15:12:45 UTC

unpatched kernel works too

Comment 7 Rafael J. Wysocki 2008-01-13 15:51:19 UTC

Good.

It might be possible to make the suspend work with nv and s2ram, but I'm not sure if that's worthy of investing time into.

Anyway, this means the problem is we don't initialize the graphics appropriately during suspend, so that's a duplicate of Bug 7225.
