Suspend - no resume
Hi
i'm trying to get suspend2 working on my thinkpad r52. i'm using debian
etch with a vanilla kernel from kernel.org and custom config for this
particular laptop.
following the instructions from suspend2.net i recompiled my kernel with
suspend2 and installed hibernate etc. i modified hibernate.conf with
relevant options.
suspend itself seems to work ok. the machine begins to create the
restore image, i get the text progress bar etc and then it shuts down as
expected. however when i resume it goes through a normal boot process as
opposed to restoring its previous state.
i have tried it with suspend to disk using both swap and a file. the
result is exactly the same for both.
one thing that i'm unsure of is the creation of the initrd image.
everything i have read regarding this setup for debian is different. i
have tried the script from suspend2.net, and also the 2 (or 3) different
script from the same sites wiki at
http://wiki.suspend2.net/DistroAndHardwareSetup/DebianInitrd
the only suspend2 output i get with dmesg is as follows:
Suspend2 Core.
Suspend2 Compression Driver loading.
Suspend2 Encryption Driver loading.
Suspend2 Swap Writer loading.
Suspend2 FileWriter loading.
my grub boot options seem to be correct:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16.18-r52-1 root=/dev/sda3
resume2=file:/dev/sda5:0xeac000 libata.atapi_enabled=1 ro vga=791
the above was my last stuffing around with a suspend file - again, have
tried suspend to swap with relevant changes made to the config and boot
stuff and the result is the same.
no errors are generated. i'm stumped and spent most of the day fiddling
with this.
some help would be most appreciated.
thanks
Takis
