Bug Description
Hi,
My laptop (Acer Aspire 3104 WLMi) was hibernating to disk, and waking up, perfectly good with 7.04 Feisty Fawn - so well that I was actually surprised - but, since I upgraded to Gutsy 7.10 beta, it doesn't work anymore:
- When trying to hibernate laptop, I immediately get a black screen with a blinking cursor at the top-left corner, and nothing else happens ;
- At this point, the system doesn't seem to be hanged : I can switch between text consoles using [Alt]-[Fn]
- If I switch to the X11 console ([Alt]-[F7]), then I get a completely black screen, and from there on the system is completely hanged : Keyboard doesn't respond anymore, "caps/num lock" leds don't react, no disk activity, "MagicSysRq" keys not answering, no way to get out of there but killing power.
Annoying :-(
I will add to this one that I tested this several times and it "consistently crashes".
When I ask to hibernate and get a black screen with a blinking cursor, after a while of "nothing happening" I cant shift between text-mode terminals, but can't login : getty is probably already dead. Can't do anything but shift between consoles, event the "Magic SysRq" keys don't work anymore. If shifting to [Alt-F7], X display, I get a completely black screen (no cursor anymore) and from then on everything's dead, can't do anything but kill power.
Latest "RC" updates didn't bring any improvement on this.
