Suspend - reboots on resume

Hi everyone,

When I try to suspend to RAM, the computer reboots on resume (Sony VGN-FW480J, running Slackware 14.0 - 64 bit). I had the same issue in Arch linux and the issue was fixed by changing the following line in /etc/default/grub

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="acpi_sleep=nonvs"

What should I do to correct this pm-suspend error in Lilo?

Thank you.

Hi, here the section from my lilo.conf:

Code:

# Linux bootable partition config begins

image = /boot/vmlinuz

  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz

  append = "resume=/dev/sda9"

  root = /dev/sda5

  label = Slack64-current

  read-only

If you use the generic kernel you'll have a line like this in your mkinitrd.conf

Code:

RESUMEDEV="/dev/sda9"

Could you please describe in detail how you've configured for suspend in Slackware?

I have not done anything special to configure suspend in Slackware. It's a fresh install with XFCE and I believe that the XFCE menu uses pm-utils to suspend, hibernate, etc.

I added the line to lilo.conf which did not make a difference. I don't currently have a a mkinitrd.conf (only /etc/mkinitrd.conf.sample). Should I just copy the mkinitrd.conf.sample to mkinitrd.conf, and, if so, which lines should I uncomment?

This is the advice from the arch wiki that I used to get suspend to work:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pm-utils#Reboot_instead_of_resume_from_suspend

Reboot instead of resume from suspend

This problem started when saving NVS area during suspend was introduced (in 2.6.35-rc4) (mailing list post). However, it is known that this mechanism does not work on all machines, so the kernel developers allow the user to disable it with the help of the acpi_sleep=nonvs kernel command line option. This option could be pass to the kernel through GRUB options by editing the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (GRUB 0.97) on the kernel line.

If you don't use the generic kernel you don't need an initrd and therefore no mkinitrd.conf.

In your lilo.conf add

Code:

append="acpi_sleep=nonvs"

or if you have already a line with append, you can add this command (separated with a <SPACE>). There's a manpage for lilo.conf.

An explanation of the kernel-parameters is here: http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat...parameters.txt
