Attempt to solve Suspend/Hibernate issue

MacPC,

You may be able to rule out the nVidia graphics as the cause by trying my suggestion in this question:

If that suggestion does not resolve your problem with suspend, then there is most likely an ACPI issue to sort out.

Please return to Launchpad and mark this question Solved, if this resolves your issue.

Thanks!

Hello,

I have the same motherboard, but with a Intel Core2 Duo CPU (E8400 @ 3.00GHz).
Latest BIOS (PRG3110H.86A.0059.2008.1024.1834) and Xubuntu 8.10 with all updates up to today.

With the onboard video card, I have exactly the same issue: Suspend actually works, but pressing the power button afterwards results in 4 beeps, and then a normal restart. I switched to a GeForce 8500 GT based video card and a DVI panel, and now suspend stills does work, but now I get the normal restart after power up without beeps.

Here is my lspci:

I am willing to help testing any idea or patches -have a external disk in case there is need to do some low level kernel tweaking.

Regards!
