Small breakthrough, suspend worked for a few weeks with a recent Hardy kernel release after I changed the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base file's line referring to the Intel sound driver:
options snd-hda-intel to options snd-hda-intel model=hippo probe_mask=1 according to part of the thread in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=514292&page=15 And so long as I had the wireless switch to off (!). But then it stopped working after I accepted a kernel update, from memory 2.6.24-16 going to -17. Gah. This time, suspend attempts sometimes dropped crud onto the display, before the hard lock, with one error referring to the iwl4965 module already having a zero count or something. On an off-chance, next reboot I decided to try and pre-emptively unload the module before suspend, which I did manually. Ahah! It worked. So I added the following line to /etc/default/acpi-support MODULES="iwl4965" And voila! I get reliable suspends now. I AM REALLY REALLY HAPPY ABOUT THIS :-) Removing the line from the file results in failure during suspend of the "flashing underscore" with hard lock type, so I'm pretty sure something about this module is problematic. Hibernates (or sleep-to-disk) still fails with endless console references to count=0 for a USB reference. -- Sony Vaio TZ11M/N suspend and hibernate problems https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164398 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
