Created attachment 23372 [details] Output of lspci -vv I've been trying for sometime to get suspend-to-ram to work but have had no success over a range of kernels going all the way back to the 2.4.x series. FWIW, suspend-to-ram works on windows xp. I'm attatching the following that may help shed some light on this. 1) dmesg *after* Test#2 2) Output of lspci -vv 3) Output of acpidump Current kernel: 2.6.31.1 Last working kernel: none Distro: slackware 13.0 Laptop: HP ZV5400T CTO (HP Pavilion laptop) Suspend-to-ram Tests Test #1 Suspend: -- Exit X-windows -- go to single user (telinit 1), verified no acpid running -- echo mem > /sys/power/state Result: -- System goes into suspend state. Indications: power button flashing, power LED flashing, similar to standby in windows Wakeup: -- Push flashing power button -- Fan turns on -- Hard drive spins up -- LCD display is blank and remains blank -- CAPS Lock light does not come on when pushed Test #2 To suspend: -- Exit X-windows -- go to single user (telinit 1) verified no acpid running -- echo core > /sys/power/pm_test -- echo mem > /sys/power/state Result: System goes into suspend state Wakeup: Returns after 5-10 secs Display works, everything appears to work normally. Other observations: Per the hint in the logs, adding acpi.gts=1 makes no difference

Hi Will you please confirm whether this is a resume issue or blank display? Will you please do the following test and see whether the box can be resumed from sleeping state? 1. echo mem > /sys/power/state; dmesg >dmesg_after; sync; reboot 2. press the power button 3. reboot the system and check whether the file of dmesg_after is created. If it is created, please attach the file of dmesg_after. If the file of dmesg_after is created, then it is related with Radeon graphics driver. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #3) > Hi > Will you please confirm whether this is a resume issue or blank display? I'm not sure how to answer this question, so I'll just describe what I see. After putting the machine successfully into the suspend state, once the "flashing" power button is pushed to "resume", the following is observed: 1) the power button stops flashing and remains lit just like it does during normal operation 2) the fan comes back on 3) the display never comes back and *remains* blank 4) the cap lock LED does not light up when the caps lock button is pushed. > Will you please do the following test and see whether the box can be > resumed > from sleeping state? > 1. echo mem > /sys/power/state; dmesg >dmesg_after; sync; reboot > 2. press the power button > 3. reboot the system and check whether the file of dmesg_after is created. > If it is created, please attach the file of dmesg_after. > > If the file of dmesg_after is created, then it is related with Radeon > graphics driver. > > Thanks. I ran the above commands and no file "dmesg_after" is created. NOTE: As with past attempts, I have to power down the machine to get the display working again. Thanks.
Thanks for the confirmation. From the test it seems that the box can't be resumed after pressing the power button. Maybe it is related with the BIOS. In fact we see such issue on many boxes. And this bug will be marked as the dup of bug 11255. Thanks.
