S3(Suspend to RAM) on board ASUS M2V_MX -SE

[Fengwei Zhang]

Hi all,

From previous emails, I have learned that S3 works at ASUS M2V_MX_SE 
after patching by Rudolf. However,I was trying to test S3 on board Asus 
M2V_MX_SE, and I have following situation, which I don't quite understand.

Testing S3 on my board M2V_MX_SE:

m2v_mx_se + coreboot: after suspend to ram, it cannot wake up(no GUI on 
monitor)

m2v_mx_se + external video card + manufacture BIOS: S3 works

m2v_mx_se + manufacture BIOS: S3 doesn't work

m2v_mx_se + external video card + coreboot: for Ubunut 10.4, I got 
kernel panic error; for CentOS 5.5, I got ACPI system tables error.

I would appreciate if someone could give me some suggestions.

Best,
Fengwei

I think you need to boot kernel with acpi_sleep=s3_bios

Thanks,
Rudolf

For me S3 works well with an external Radeon PCIe and the radeon KMS
driver.  For a Matrox PCI card I need to use 'vbetool post' after resume
in text mode, resuming with matroxfb doesn't work).

Hi Tobias,

Could you please tell me your video card model? and what OS did you use 
for testing? Thank you!

Best,
Fengwei

Hi Tobias,

Thank you for your reply.
Have you test S3 on the integrated video card on board M2V_MX_SE? What 
is the result if you did?

Have you test S3 on the GeForce video card. What is the result? What is 
the result if you did?

Thank you very much!

Best,
Fengwei

The M2V I have does not have builtin graphics (plain M2V, not M2V MX
SE).  I also don't have a GeForce card I could test with.

HTH,
