standby in Suse 9.1 and suspend with a funny reboot cycle, my machine is crazy!
Hi, powesave -standby out the machine to standby mode (the standby light blinks slowly as in windows) coming back from standby, by pressing the usuall power button, takes the machine completly down! Any suggestions!! I tried this both with the X and without X. suspend works fine with out X, but if I try it with the X, the machine gets crazy and each time it gets to reading DMS it reboots again, its a funnx reboot cycle! The machine is a humble hp nx 9005 AMD 2000+ with 512 RAM. Thanks in advance!

there is documentation in /usr/share/doc/packages/powersave/. Please read README.suspend. If you have questions after that, please ask. Short: standby will not work. for suspend, you will have to blacklist your agp module.

blacklist your agp module after reading the documentation. To get access to the machine, either put "noresume" on the bootprompt or do a "failsave" boot once. This should fix it. -- Stefan Seyfried
Thanks Stefan, I did already black list the agp module (however, I am a bit confused.. should the agp-ati be added to the blacklistfile or the agp_ati which seems to be loaded?) this could be the problem, I am checking now...I am adding the agp-ati and rebooting...then suspending... and ... IT WORKS! GREAT! So one should put the ati-agp thing not ati_agp !! I just gone through the thread in the mailing lisat entitled "SuSE 9.1 Probs" struggeling with my German to understand! would the patch there http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-laptop/2004-Apr/0229.html help me!! do u recomend trying it? If u need to check things for the powersaved I would be happy to "commit" my machine for tests!! by the way, do u know how to git rid of the annoying subfs system? I want to mount my disks alone, but it does not let me? Thanks Very Much, for this and the doc files too, Cheers Adham Stefan Seyfried wrote:

good. I'm always confused by this, so i put both intel-agp and intel_agp in ;-)

Yes, that would probably help, although i have only tested it on intel and SIS chipsets. After applying this patch, don't forget to de-blacklist your AGP module (commenting it out in /etc/.../blacklist is enough).
If u need to check things for the powersaved I would be happy to "commit" my machine for tests!!
Oh, would be nice to hear from ati-agp users :-). Be careful with 3D, it has not been tested extensively and i believe (or i have dreamed of) that i have seen some memory corruption issue connected to 3d/suspend/ AGP (some processes suddenly segfaulting, data from disk cache corrupt until i forced a re-read from disk), but cannot reproduce it, so maybe it was just a cosmic particle hitting one of my RAM chips :-) Also, 3D does not work for me (intel centrino chipset) after resume until i restart the X server and i heard of radeon users whose machine crashes at suspend/resume after they used 3d (works fine without 3d). So just be careful and back up your valuable data before trying things out.
by the way, do u know how to git rid of the annoying subfs system? I want to mount my disks alone, but it does not let me?
pragmatic fix: cd /lib/modules/2.6.4-52-default/extra/ mv subfs.ko subfs.ko_SWITCHED_OFF and reboot :-) -- Stefan Seyfried
