Hi,
When suspending to RAM my computer, my computer reboots completely. My computer is a SONY VAIO VPCEB18FD.
With grub under opensuse 11.4 I used to add the acpi_sleep=nonvs parameter in the menu.lst file of grub.
I don’t know how to do the same with grub2.
Thanks in advance for your help.

you should mention the version of openSUSE and desktop (KDE,GNOME etc) you are using
That kernel setting is still there.
acpi_sleep= [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode, s3_beep, s4_nohwsig,
old_ordering, nonvs, sci_force_enable }
See Documentation/power/video.txt for information on
s3_bios and s3_mode.
s3_beep is for debugging; it makes the PC's speaker beep
as soon as the kernel's real-mode entry point is called.
s4_nohwsig prevents ACPI hardware signature from being
used during resume from hibernation.
old_ordering causes the ACPI 1.0 ordering of the _PTS
control method, with respect to putting devices into
low power states, to be enforced (the ACPI 2.0 ordering
of _PTS is used by default).
nonvs prevents the kernel from saving/restoring the
ACPI NVS memory during suspend/hibernation and resume.
sci_force_enable causes the kernel to set SCI_EN directly
on resume from S1/S3 (which is against the ACPI spec,
but some broken systems don't work without it).

It is also best to also mention your openSUSE version and Desktop version among other things to get the best possible help for your problem.
Thank You,
Sorry I forgot to mention, I have installed opensuse 12.3 with KDE.
Go to yast - bootloader and configure extra kernel parameters. You do not even need to know which bootloader is used.
Great it works perfectly, very easy to apply. Thanks a lot.
