I just upgraded my laptop to kernel 2.6.2 to try to get suspend-to-RAM working. My hardware doesn't support the normal S1 suspend mode, and S3 didn't do a thing under the 2.4 kernels.

Anyway, it suspends OK; I get a glimpse of various power management-related messages and the words "Power down" before the display goes blank. The power indicator blinks like it's supposed to. So far, so good.

However, when I hit the power button to resume, the fan comes on and the drives spin up for about half a second, then the power completely dies. When I turn the power back on, it reboots just as if I did a full power off without shutting down.

My laptop is an HP Pavilion ze4325 with an ATI Radeon IGP 320 video card (running in framebuffer mode). I have searched JL and G4L endlessly. Please help! :(

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I can only suspend using "echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep", the old interface. Running "echo mem > /sys/power/state" does nothing.

Has anybody gotten their laptop to suspend and resume at all? :confused:

I'd like to get suspend to RAM working, it's on my todo list. Maybe I'll do it for a project in my Linux Administration class. If I get anything working, I'll be sure to let the forums know about it.

Just FYI, my laptop does the exact same thing.
