I had that same problem with my Dell Inspiron 8600. I tried the "hibernate" package, which someone suggested, and everything works fine, now. I recall there were a couple of changes to the config that I was told to make, but I think hibernate fixed the problem even without those changes. Try "hibernate" first. If that doesn't work, then I can go find the changes I made. One thing you probably do have to do is change one config file in /etc/hibernate. There's a config file which basically lists the types of hibernation to try and in what order. It's something like: Load /etc/hibernate/ram.conf Load /etc/hibernate/sysfs-ram.conf Load /etc/hibernate/ususpend-ram.conf Load /etc/hibernate/disk.conf Load /etc/hibernate/sysfs-disk.conf Load /etc/hibernate/ususpend-disk.conf Or something like that. You can rearrange them to alter what order they're tried in. You can probably also just use the "hibernate-disk" and "hibernate-ram" commands. - Joe
Hi all, Thanks for your replies. Bhaskar: I cannot switch to the terminal with Alt+F1 or any other virtual terminal for that. Kevin: I used the raw (low-level) program s2disk and s2ram for it but they do the same thing as the powersave script, which additionally removes some kernel modules. Joe: I installed hibernate, but with the same result. May be you can suggest me the configs you made for making it work for you. regards, Hardik
