Having minimal experience with hibernation I cant speak with much authority but I do know that including a description/models of your hardware involved will commonly make it more likely someone will be able to actually give a helpful response. These types of issues are usually tied to specific hardware components from my experience (of reading on various mailing list memberships). I know there are usually some APM/ACPI knobs you can play with in your BIOS or kernel settings that may have some relevance. Which knobs and how much to turn them are questions most likely better answered by someone with more experience and/or maybe trial and error on your part. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of rhubarbpie at poetworld.net Sent: Saturday, October 11, 2008 9:32 AM To: tclug-list Subject: [tclug-list] Hibernate execution inconsistent Hibernate takes my box down stone-cold-dead only 1/3 of the time. Usually the I/O light doesn't go out and I have to hold the power switch. Hibernate always writes the image, blanks the screen, and restore properly. However, I have to do the manual thing often. This isn't a big problem, but if it's fixable ... I'm running compiled Linux From Scratch 6.3 with the 2.6.26 kernel and the TuxOnIce 1.99 script. I commonly have an OpenOffice spreadsheet, Thunderbird, and Opera up when hibernating (no internet connection). Again, it's not a huge problem but I don't understand the inconsistency. Do others have the problem? _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota tclug-list at mn-linux.org http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
