Suspend to Ram on Macbook Pro not working.

cybershastri · November 8, 2008, 6:05am

Hi,

I have installed openSuse 11 on my MacBook Pro (KDE 4.1.3).
I have configured it to suspend to ram When I close the lid of the laptop. However, the suspend fails with the following error :

An unknown error occurred while Suspend to RAM. The errorcode is: '127'
Do you want to have a look at the log file?

Please help!!

The log file contains following :

s2ram -f

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I tried s2ram -f.
The machine did suspend. But then i could not figure out how to wake it up.

It doesnt suspend when closing the lid though.

s2ram -n gives the followins details :

Try the power button

cybershastri · November 8, 2008, 10:48pm

I did… The machine sounds like it is waking up… But, i dont get the screen. Just a blank screen and a cursor at the top left corner of the screen.

user · February 18, 2009, 4:32pm

Same problem here.
I have a Macbook Pro 3.1 (Santa Rosa) with openSuSE 11.1 on it. When it awakes, i can’t figure out how to get the screen “coming back to light”.
I’ve tried some of the tricks from Suspend to RAM - openSUSE, but it is pretty annoying since on every failed try, i have to reboot it via the power button (don’t want to corrupt filesystem).
So, the question here is: has anyone here the same laptop and has figured it out?

Here is the output for s2ram -n:


Machine unknown
This machine can be identified by:
    sys_vendor   = "Apple Inc."
    sys_product  = "MacBookPro3,1"
    sys_version  = "1.0"
