Re: [FYI] hibernate on G5

[Torrance]

The messed up screen seems to be partly an error with the nv driver or nvidiafb. Issuing the command "echo disk > /sys/power/state" with xserver running results in the same error.

Stopping task... done
Shrinking memory... done (0 pages free)
Freed 0 kbytes in 0.06 seconds (0.00MB/s)
Suspending console(s)



I'm not sure what's going on. :(

However, with xserver stopped I get this response from the hibernate command: Unfortunately at this point the system locks up, the text above remains on the screen, and after a short while the fans spin up to full speed.

        Well, the regular applies. If you have SMP then you need to
        enable

Ah, thank you.


with colours, the system freezes, and after a short while the fans
spin up to full speed.

Here's the verbose output of a dry run (I can't make sense of it):

Except now when I attempt to suspend-to-disk the screen gets messed up

Neither can I. Have you tried just "echo disk > /sys/power/state"? And
have you turned off nvidiafb?
