Package: hal Version: 0.5.8-1 Severity: normal Hi,
On power/ibook systems that have hibernate installed, hibernate to ram will not work properly because it tries to use something like echo -n mem > /sys/power/state which is broken. I've submitted a kernel patch to stop mem and standby from showing up in /sys/power/state and am running that patch, which means that I was just lucky that it didn't kill my system a few minutes ago! Now, the scripts in other places work around this by disallowing /sys/power/state for pmu based systems because those allow crashing the system through that file. In any case, the point here is that this check should also be applied to the new patch in order to not break pmu based systems that happen to have hibernate installed. Yes, I know that the whole situation with PMU based systems sucks majorly. I'm working on fixing it, but it isn't trivial. A first step was to actually not make echo -n mem > /sys/power/state crash on PMU based systems by disallowing it completely. johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
