Re: Squeeze Kernel Upgrade Broke Suspend to Ram

As Squeeze users know, an upgrade for the 2.6.32 kernel became avaliable today, the 2.6.32-48squeeze11 version.

I half-heartedly performed the upgrade, rebooted, then tried an STR.

No go.

I then downgraded the six abovementioned packages back to their 2.6.32-48squeeze8 versions and, not surprisingly, STR started working again.

Sigh...

Have you tried kernel 3.2.x from squeeze-backports? According to a package search you should be able to try out 3.2.0-0bpo for x86 / AMD_64.

pen,

Thanks for that suggestion. I tried loading that kernel, but then my Xwindows was broken.

I suppose I could have dug into it, but I just didn't feel like dicking with it right now....

So, I undid all of the installs, upgrades, and package removals that said kernel upgrade induced.

I tried version 13 of the 2.6.32 kernel.

Same STR problem.

Downgraded back to version 8.

To finally suitcase this issue (sort of):

As long as I was using Squeeze (the final kernel update left me at version 20), the problem never resolved itself. I just (lazily) lived with it until upgrading to Wheezy a month ago (I know, I'm still far behind...maybe I'll get Jessie loaded onto the subject machine by the end of 2019...maybe...).

In any event, the upgrade fixed my STR problem! Notably, I was able to use the Nouveau video driver for my nVidia card, as Wheezy's version of Nouveau could handle said card.

After giving the issue some thought, I think that members dilberts_left_nut and Issayer were on the right track. I think that the problem was related to the nVidia blob that I had loaded under Squeeze.

All is well!
