Ubuntu 8.04, 64 bit suspend/hiberhate with Asus P5Q3 broken
Hi,
Suspend/hibernate has never worked on my Ubuntu 8.04, 64 bit workstation on an Asus P5Q3 mobo. I tried installing uswsusp with no luck. The best I can get is a black screen on reboot or a black screen with one corner randomly colored.
This appears to be a common problem with Ubuntu and some of the proposed fixes involve dangerous, low level brain surgery to the system. Some say to hack the hal-system files, others to install PMI, some to hack the /boot/grub/menu.lst, some to turn off ACPI, some to turn off USB devices, etc.
I don't have enough storage on my other machines to fully backup my 3 TB RAID 5, my 1 TB single drive and all 3 other disk subsystems. I once turned off ACPI to install a promise rocketraid controller and on the next boot, all lf the drives on a 2 TB Linux software RAID 5 became corrupt and it ate over a terabyte of data.
My current RAID controller is a 3Ware, 9650SE, 8 port, PCI-E RAID 5 (6). Will this even survive a suspend/hibernate?
Does anybody have a similar hardware setup with Ubuntu suspend/hibernate working? Would upgrading to 8.10 be a likely solution?
