suspend fails

[Jürgen]

On all kernel suspend is not possible. I ran pm_test and it hangs.

Jürgen, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-X.Y-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

shutdown is not possible too.
when running in recovery mode the last message is "hanging up"
the disk stops spinning, so maybe the problem is at the very end.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Jürgen , did this problem not occur in a release prior to Vivid?

[Jürgen (j-w-ott)]

This is the last working kernel ( resume to disk is not possible)

(unicorn)
3.16.0-31-generic

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Jürgen, the next step is to fully commit bisect from kernel 3.16 to 3.19 in order to identify the last good kernel commit, followed immediately by the first bad one. This will allow for a more expedited analysis of the root cause of your issue. Could you please do this following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection ?

Please note, finding adjacent kernel versions is not fully commit bisecting.

Thank you for your understanding.

linux-image-3.16.0-28-generic-3.16.0-28.38 last "good kernel"
linux-image-3.18.0-8-generic 3.18.0-8.9 first "bad one"

It irritates me not to find more users reporting this problem, allthough there are some other asus users reporting similar problems

[Jürgen (j-w-ott)]

I tried to bisect the kernel but ended up in a dead end.

Jürgen, as noted in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection one would want to switch to bisecting the mainline kernel.
