Public bug reported:
I was very pleased to discover that hibernating worked "out of the box"
with Edgy Beta 1 on my old Compaq Presario 1690 laptop (K6-2, 128MB RAM;
it really is old). Resuming worked as well, albeit there was a square
in the upper left corner of the screen that was a bit corrupted-looking.
Logging out and back in fixed that.
Then I downloaded some more Edgy updates and installed them, but the
initrd generator never finished postinst; it just sat there. I hit
Ctrl+C, and the configuration of usplash and powernowd also didn't
finish; I had to Ctrl+C them as well.
I finally discovered that /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh was still running, and
was waiting for "modprobe thermal" to return. I killed the "modprobe
thermal" process, and the hibernate script finished running, which
included starting anacron.
This is dangerous because I'm guessing that, if a new kernel package is
installed, but the initrd generator doesn't finish running, the system
might be left in an unbootable state. And, of course, whatever else the
hibernate script didn't get to finish doing.
** Affects: acpi-support (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
