Has anyone gotten the hibernate function to work correctly with the Hedgehog? When I choose this option nothing happens except my computer completely locks up...power button won't even work after this.
I want to be able to use this mainly so I can spin down the hard drives at will when I'm not going to be using it for a while. Suprisingly, the suspend function of my Winblows 2000 actually works (dual-boot).
Works fine for me! And I have crappy power management on my hardware (Using a rather "home-made" mainboard - I have a triple boot machine - Ubuntu Hoary, Fedora3 and Mandriva 2005 and Fedora can't even manage to shut down properly)...
Your not alone... though sometimes it does something after I hit control-alt-delete a dozen times. Once after turning it off (it will turn off hard) I got something were it was trying to resume the hibernation but it hung with an error message (I can't remember what it said, I'll try to reproduce it).
Hibernate is working fine for me. I'm running on a pretty generic box (with an AMD processor, if that makes any difference). After you get the system back up check and see if there is anything printed in the system logs...there *may* be some useful info there.
