Hello,
because I had to repartition my hdd on my X31 notebook for the boot partition being too small (which resulted in an unbootable installation after the last kernel update), I decided to give the 12.3RC a chance.
Installation was managed via qemu-kvm on a desktop pc directly to the notebook hdd, because there is no DVD drive and no possibility to change the boot order for me (mainboard is a replacement and BIOS password unknown). This worked surprisingly easy (mainly some corrections in fstab needed).
It’s a standard KDE installation and so far everything works fine, well, except for that suspend problems: When suspending or hibernating, the notebook is suspended very quickly (less than a second with no difference between suspend and hibernate), but will never awake (background illumination is switched on but no more reaction).
I tried to start with kernel flags acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig or acpi_sleep=nonvs but that didn’t help. Previous versions (11.2 - 12.2) worked fine. This is a bit disappointing, for I’d like to use the new s2both option.
Some additional infos: IBM Thinkpad X31, 1.6GHz Pentium M, 1GB RAM, Samsung HM160HC hard disk. Root partition is partition 1, /home, swap and /var/tmp are on a crypted volume (detected correctly on boot), /tmp is tmpfs. The thinkpad_acpi is loaded on boot (with warning: Outdated ThinkPad BIOS/EC firmware).
Any hints what to try next? Further infos needed?
Btw: I like the new release very much!
