suspend to Ram with Linux on an nx8220

[Emmanuel Druon]

Hello,
Did anyone succeed to make a suspend to RAM using Linux (FC4) on an nx8220 using ACPI S3 mode ? The laptop goes to sleep just fine but fails to wake up.

Fedora Core 4 is not production and has known, reported problems in this area. Make sure you report the issue to fedora.redhat.com or their bugzilla system. Provide details on your hardwaare and maybe they will get it fixed before the release goes gold.

Emmanuel:

AFAIK suspend to RAM using stock kernels only works for a handful of notebooks (IBM thinkpads and a few Dells). I had suspend to RAM working with custom 2.4.x kernels on an HP ze4100 years ago, but suspend seems to be substantially broken since. SEP's suggestion about a bug report is a good one. If enough of us do this, the maintainers for the distributions will start to put a higher priority on suspend.

hi,
i've just wrote a very short solution for s3 on nx8220: http://hehe.pl/drg/trash/nx8220-s3/

Pawel's patch works fine me except the sound problem after resuming from s3. While sound itself works on headphones the inbuild speakers don't. Unloading all sound relevant modules before suspending to ram and reloading them on resume doesn't help either. Any suggestions?
