Can't Hibernate

English Hardware
1

I have got a Dell XPS M1530 with openSUSE 11. I tried to set this thing up so it hibernates (suspend to disk, I think) when the lid is closed.

The problem is that it freezes when it tries to come back to suse. It makes it through the BIOS ok, but when it comes back into suse, it displays a lot of messages, the last few being

s2disk: Snapshotting System
s2disk: Snapshot done
s2disk: returned to userspace

It just hangs there. I have to hold the power key down to restart it.

If anyone can help with this, I’d really appreciate it!

2

Try issuing

pm-hibernate (as root)

Then once resumed or restarted

cat /var/log/pm-utils.log

Post the output here. (Often graphics chipsets or network hardware can be the cause of this).

3

I don’t actually have pm-utils.log. I do have pm-suspend.log, but maybe that’s for suspending to ram?

4

You know what, I am going to post the contents of pm-suspend.log. I noticed that the time stamp on it matches the time I tried to hibernate. Let me know if this is incorrect.

Sorry, that was my mistake. Not enough coffee! It should have been pm-suspend.log

Skipping grub entry #1, because it has the noresume option
Skipping grub entry #3, because it has the noresume option

This offers a clue. You need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst entry so that it can resume from swap partition. Mine for reference (your partition layout will be different):

Post your menu.lst file if you need further help.

I thought I knew what to do, but I’m a bit confused now. My swap space is on sda6, which is referenced in the “resume=” part.

What exactly do I need to change? The entry in menu.lst is

Hmmm…if its as you say, all should be ok. Can you post output of

cat /boot/grub/menu.lst

fdisk -l

I’m confused about the ‘noresume’ message now :\

Here’s my menu.lst.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

11

Now that I’ve has a better look, everything looks ok to me. (I’m assuming your swap size is large enough???) My pm-suspend.log entries are same as yours (except for hardware specific hooks on our respective systems)

This could take some experimentation to lock down cause.

Try shutting down network with

rcnetwork stop

Then try to hibernate / resume.

12

I ran ‘rcnetwork stop’ and then tried to hibernate, but the results were the same.

I think my swap is large enough. I’ve got 3992 MB total for swap and I’ve got 3545 MB for memory. I kind of assumed that as long as there was more swap space than memory, I’d be good to go.
