Hi list, today I found something new on my laptop: While Grub is still on, the Suspend-Button works. The laptop went into suspend mode and wakes up back to the Grub menu, as it is supposed to. So my question is:
Which technology would be responsible for Suspend in this stage: Can it be ACPI, APM or something further on the hardware side? And more important: What do I have to change to get this Suspend working with the running Linux kernel: Configure and compile a new kernel (which options important?), pass certain boot parameters, ...? I have had this working under Archlinux by passing the boot option pci=noacpi. But this does not seem to help under Debian? So my current "getting suspend to work"-status is: 1. When I push the Suspend-button (Fn-F1) ... (console and X) It just turns off the display and doesn't react to anything anymore (fan still running), I have to do a hard reboot. This has nothing (?) to do with ACPI, since acpi daemon is not running and I don't find any evidence of this behaviour in the logs. Seems to be connected to the "Grub-Suspend", but as I said: Here it doesn't wake up. 2. When I go the ACPI-way ("echo mem > /sys/power/state") ... It suspends fine (?) but does not resume: no display, no keyboard, no ping response. I have tried some advice from this list (e.g. acpi_sleep=* option), no success. Grateful for your hints to get either Suspend method working, Frank -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
