software suspend / 2.6.0-test7,8
Hi,
test7:
echo -n disk > /sys/power/state
I thought that would trigger the
linux kernel build in software suspend
(the one in the power management code, not the "swsusp" code). It does something.
but I thought that would write it's data to
my swap partition, too.
However what happends is, that it looks like
it shuts down, and then I see a screen from my bios, telling me that suspend failed, because there is no partition to save the data to.
So I wonder: is the power management suspend to disk code meant to work only in combination with the bios?
With earlier kernels I had success with the swsusp code, it worked fine without bios support. I will look at that again. Will I need to remove the power management suspend to disk code from my config to make the swsusp code work again ? (echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep does nothing, it worked fine with earlier kernels (except vga and wlan)).
test8, compiled without PM_DISK:
swsusp works great! except x11 fullscreen mode doesn't work, after killing xfree (debian testing) and restarting xfree it works fine.
/sys/power/state still includes "disk" as supported method, even though PM_DISK is not compiled in. strange.

Good.
swsusp should (attempt to) switch to text console before suspending, so it should handle X. Can you try with vesafb?
