Distribution: Debian testing (etch) Hardware Environment: Thinkpad 600X, Pentium III 650 MHz, 576MB memory Software Environment: using my hacked DSDT mentioned in Bug #3534 (will attach in next msg) that allowed S3 to work with 2.6.11.4. It's the IBM DSDT with the compile errors fixed, though some of my fixes may not be right (but they got S3 working)! Problem Description: After going to sleep with 'echo mem > /sys/power/state', the system displays 'stopping tasks' and then goes to sleep mostly fine (the suspend light goes on, although the disk drive light also goes on even though the disk is quiet). With 2.6.11.4, it would wake up either upon opening the lid or pressing the 'Fn' key. With 2.6.13-rc3, nothing wakes it up. Holding the power switch for several seconds turns the machine off, but to turn it back on I have to remove the AC cord and the main and spare batteries, then power it back on. Otherwise it just ignores the power on. Steps to reproduce: Boot into multi-user mode (which gets all the ACPI modules loaded), then echo mem > /sys/power/state
Created attachment 5362 [details] Modified 600X DSDT Here's the DSDT I compiled into the kernel. With 2.6.11.4 plus this DSDT, S3 mostly worked.
Correction: The disk light goes on only after I try to wake it up (e.g. by pressing the Fn key). The screen flashes briefly, the disk light turns on (though the disk doesn't spin), then the screen goes blank and nothing happens. In order to reboot, I have to fully power cycle by removing the batteries and AC cord. -Sanjoy
With 2.6.13-rc3-mm2, it now goes to sleep (S3) and wakes up once, but the second time I suspend, it will hang after the 'stopping tasks ===== ...' message. This hang happens whether or not I boot with acpi_sleep=s3_bios The console display is still messed up upon wake up (using XFree86 server), but X works fine (as long as it wakes up).
did repeated suspend/resume cycles work with a previous kernel? If yes, what is the most recent version before it broke? Is this still an issue in 2.6.13-rc6?
> did repeated suspend/resume cycles work with a previous kernel? 2.6.11.4 and 2.6.12.3. > If yes, what is the most recent version before it broke? Before 2.6.11, S3 sleep/wake didn't work at all. Repeated slep/wake cycles work with 2.6.13-rc6, if I don't use a preemptible kernel. The 2.6.11.4 and 2.6.12.3 kernels above were not preemptible. Definitely the non-preemtible are okay, and the fully pre-emptible 2.6.13-rc6 breaks. I'm still not sure whether a medium-preemptible (voluntary preempt) 2.6.13-rc6 breaks. I have been using it for the last 24 hours and stressing it out to try and break it but it's still doing fine. See Bug #5037 for the details and ongoing testing.
thanks for re-testing. I'm glad to hear the latest kernel w/o preempt works fine. Seems like there is no unique failure described in this bug report -- shall we close it as a duplicate of bug 5037?
