Got a problem trying to resume from suspend
I'm running a fresh installation of fedora 10 (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64) on a HP Pavillion dv5-1235dx. After trying to resume from suspend (to ram) everything appears to work, wifi light comes back on, all my lights come back on, x-windows comes back on, I notice the hard drive light never flashes again. When I try to run any application the system becomes unresponsive. I can still move the mouse caps lock still works. Pressing the power button brings up the "shutdown this system now" dialogue when press I click on shut down nothing happens, the system does not shutdown after the 60 seconds countdown. Pressing ctrl+alt+backspace kills x-windows and brings me a terminal with the following error message:
Code:
Traceback(most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/logging/_init_.py", line 753, in emit
File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/logging/_init_.py", line 731, in Flush
IO:Error [errno 30] Read-only file system
When I try to hit the power button again or press ctrl+alt+del I get this error:
Hibernate works without a problem.
Suspend and Resume works fine under windows vista but I do not want to use windows vista... please help me! --- I also tried Ubuntu 8.10 live and I get the same problem
I found reason why my Dell Latitude D620 did not wakeup correctly from Suspend (to RAM). Hibernate (to disk) works.
Reason is very simple - you have HDD password protected. When you wake up your computer from Hibernate, BIOS is asking password. And when your computer wakes up from Suspend it does NOT ask HDD password!
I tried few BIOS settings and only disabling HardDisk Drive password solved problem. So now I have working Suspend mode. But fortunately no HDD lock working.
So - disable HDD password from BIOS! Or somebody must fix Linux Suspend -code to wake with BIOS password question.
I don't have BIOS password enable. I have the latest updates for Fedora 10 and still no luck. I got suspend disable :-( Hoping the problem will be fix with fedora 11

No solution because HP doesn't offially support Linux, but maybe they might fix it if enough customer manifest themselves (see last link)
My machine is an Advent 7113. Fedora 9 worked fine. The issue is with 10 and 11.
I suspect the issue is with the motherboard or something along these lines.
Why?
Since I had the resume issue, the audio does not play as loud at all and keyboard function keys for the volume seem to hang X is some ways i.e. clicking on a pop-up menu like system or application will result in the pop-up menu not being visible.
Furthermore the when the function key is pressed the volume icon wil blink endlessly until another function key is pressed.
Ok these may be 10 different bugs rather than one but they seem all to be related
The problem was with the laptop. HP recently released a bios update. After upgrading it I had no problems with resuming from suspend. Thanks for all your help.
My machine is the dv4 1080ei. I too had the suspend-and-lose-sata issue
I followed Idyocrate's links and found that I also needed a bios upgrade.
But my bios seems to be slightly different (F30, from F12). Anyway, the
good news is that after MAJOR effort (of recovering the Vista virus from
DVD onto a spare old hard-disk) I was able to flash and the suspend now
works. I think I have another issue in that after resume the machine now
thinks it has no battery. Too bad - I'm not fighting with it again !
