Re: [FYI] hibernate on G5

The messed up screen seems to be partly an error with the nv driver or nvidiafb. Issuing the command "echo disk > /sys/power/state" with xserver running results in the same error.
However, with xserver stopped I get this response from the hibernate command: 

Stopping task... done
Shrinking memory... done (0 pages free)
Freed 0 kbytes in 0.06 seconds (0.00MB/s)
Suspending console(s)
Unfortunately at this point the system locks up, the text above remains on the screen, and after a short while the fans spin up to full speed. 

I'm not sure what's going on. :(

        Well, the regular applies. If you have SMP then you need to
        enable
        CPU_HOTPLUG, and then you should be able to enable

Ah, thank you.
Except now when I attempt to suspend-to-disk the screen gets messed up 
with colours, the system freezes, and after a short while the fans
spin up to full speed.

Here's the verbose output of a dry run (I can't make sense of it):


Neither can I. Have you tried just "echo disk > /sys/power/state"? And
have you turned off nvidiafb?
