Power Management

[AcftMecH]

The problem: It will suspend fine... go into memory, nothing but the awake light blinking.... this is good. But hit enter to wake it up... it wakes up, but then immediately shuts down. I listed below what I thought might be important config settings for you to see. Ideas/suggestions? thanks!

Distro: PCLinuxOS
Kernel Version: 2.6.12
PC: HP DV5030us Laptop

lilo setting (from PCC)
Enable ACPI - checked
No Force APIC - checked
Force No Local APIC - unchecked

append: noapic nomce acpi=on psmouse.proto=imps splash=silent resume=/dev/hda7
Note: hda7 is my swap drive

/etc/lilo.conf
default="PCLinuxOS"
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
keytable=/boot/livecd.klt
menu-scheme=wb:bw:wb:bw
prompt
nowarn
timeout=100
message=/boot/message
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-oci6.mdk-i586-up-1GB
label="PCLinuxOS"
root=/dev/hda6
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.6.12-oci6.mdk-i586-up-1GB.img
append="noapic nomce acpi=on psmouse.proto=imps splash=silent resume=/dev/hda7"
vga=788
read-only
other=/dev/hda2
label="Winblows"

KDE CC - power control - laptop battery settings:

Power control tab: Powered - Suspend - 1 minute (for testing purposes)
ACPI config tab: all checked


Also, hibernate is slow, but works. Minor glitch, my USB ports dont wake up...any clue on any of these issues?

Thanks!

Welcome to Linux, where ACPI and power management is still subpar, since it is not really required for anything but desktops and or laptops.

It will be fixed in due time, just give it time.
