Do you know that compiles run faster if the partition is reiserfs?

This is interesting, I didnāt know it. Thanks, I have thought about such a
feature for years.

During my tests I made some bigger steps. I compiled and tested in this order:
And the result is: Beginning with **Kernel 3.1 ** my system freezes.
Any further instructions what to do next? I never debugged the kernel, especially I never had freezes with Linux before. When I had trouble with the kernel I usually got some kernel panic messages but this time I get nothingā¦ So, forgive me my questions.

I would use āsudo zypper in gitā to get git on my machine, and then install the
mainline source tree using the command
git clone url = git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git
That will download a lot of stuff (~300 MB) and create a new source tree in
directory linux. Use the cd command to get to that directory and do the following:
zcat /proc/config.gz > ,config
make -jX
sudo make modules_install install
where X is 2 times the number of CPUs. The install step will create new entries
in your GRUB menu. Note the name of that kernel and select it on the reboot.
Test this v3.3-rc2 kernel to see if the problem has been fixed in kernels later
than v3.1. If it has, you will have saved a lot of work - just use it. To stay
current with the kernels, you may periodically issue the āgit pullā command,
which will automatically get the latest kernel source. If 3.3 still has the
problem, then do the following:
git bisect start
git bisect bad v3.1
git bisect good v3.0
That will create a new test kernel that is halfway between 3.0 and 3.1 in terms
of commits. Next edit .config, find the line that contains CONFIG_LOCALVERSION,
and change it to read CONFIG_LOCALVERSION_AUTO=y. That will make every kernel
have a unique name. You can then proceed with
make -jX
sudo make modules_install install
Note the name of that kernel and select it on the reboot. Do not worry if the
version changes to 2.6.39, or something else. Next reboot with that kernel and
test. If it fails with the original problem, reboot with a good kernel and enter
the command āgit bisect badā. If it is OK, use āgit bisect goodā. The command
will discard all modifications in 1/2 of the source and generate a new kernel
source for testing. Then redo the make steps above until git tells you the bad
commit. With that information, file a bug report at bugzilla.kernel.org. Be sure
to label it as a regression - those get the highest priority. Be as complete
with the description as possible, and be sure to state that you bisected the
problem and give the bad commit number. There will likely be patches posted that
you will need to test to see if they fix the problem.
Good luck.
Thatās amazing! With Kernel 3.3.0-rc2 standby works again, but hibernate only locks the screen. Iām using KDE to standby or/and hibernate. What console command is equivalent to the hibernate/standby button in the kickoff menu? Iāve seen the pm-* tools and Iāve read about some others I donāt remind yet. Do they work different or can I use them interchangeably?
Thank you very much. Iāll continue to test earlier version of the kernel.
It works again. I tested Kernel 3.2, 3.3-rc2 (again) and 3.3-rc3. All three Kernels work. So I think the problem was fixed by Kernel 3.2 and so far I didnāt made any upgrade to this version.
So, I guess thereās no need to try to find the ābugā?
Thanks for your help. Iāll stay with the latest Kernel 3.2.

That is a good plan.
Thatās amazing! Iāve been in the field with a crappy connection several weeks. thanks for your hard work guys!
Now, which would be the best simple and uncomplicated way to upgrade to 3.2 kernel? Sort of āzypper up ā¦ā

Nevermind, I updated using Tumbleweed repos and installed NVIDIA āthe hard wayā and hibernation seems to be working for now.

the hibernate, that till today works smoothly, started to give the problem you highlighted in this post.
Any hint?

As the thread is months long and with several people involved, and many
posts that I do not want to reread, I can not know what is that problem you
mention. Could you be more explicit?

It would be better if you had started your own thread. Anyway, there is
little we can do. Did it work before (another oS version)?
Have a look:

as I told it (hibernate) has worked till some on-line update ago. The last I remembered was of the virtualbox package.
Right now while Iām writing I received an online patch with the heading
pm-util
fix the hibernate failure due to security update

Ah, yes, I forgot that one. Yes, hibernation broke few weeks ago, it was
reported in the forum and in bugzilla.

After the patch install the suspend to disc doesnāt work still it hangs at the

I attach the output in the log file /var/log/pm-suspend.log after at the command line prompt I issued
pm-hibernate with no effect. (BTW the suspend to RAM works very fineā¦)

/etc/pm/config.d/rtcwake.config?

Nowhere in the report it speaks of that file. No, you are to edit
ā/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/06autofsā as the bugzilla report says, and aply
the changes - or wait till the next update.
