Hibernate on Presario 2100

Hibernate on Presario 2100

[Zaher Salman]

Hi,

I have a Presario 2197CA with mandrake 10.0 and kernel 2.6.10. I have 
been trying to get hibernate to work on it. The way I do it is by going 
from X to text mode (ctrl+alt+F1), and then typing

echo -n disk > /sys/power/state

There is no problem to get the laptop to wake up and get back to text 
mode, but whenever I try to switch to X (ctrl+alt+F7), or if I go to 
hibernate from X, the laptop hangs and I have to reboot it. When it 
hangs a few things still work like the thouchpad so I can mover the 
mouse and the function keys work. However, is seems that the keyboard 
does not respond (like CapsLock, ctrl+alt+Backspace), and there is no 
network. Any idea why this is happening?

thanks
Zaher

Try running with vesafb and un-accelerated X server.
