Re: 701C suspend/resume
Thanks very much for all the replies. I appreciate your helps. After
reading all the replies, I feel the problme should be dcsribed precisely &
completely, which is not easy. Let me describe my problem again.
Basically, suspend/resume doesn't work in my 701C. Windows 95 & NT 4.0
crash after resume. But, the hibernation works greatly.
More strange thing is that Linux refuses either suspend and hibernation.
Ken: I'm using umsdos and lilo. Well, LILO works fine for me. However,
I tried with loadlin as you suggested. Nothing changed.
Dave: You suggested to try 'apm -s' to suspend. Wow, it makes a
difference. Linux goes to suspend by 'apm -s'. But, it fails to resume.
The kernel get unstable, and eventually crashes.
John: I'm using Fn+F4 but closing lid makes the same problem. And, I stay
on the AC power. I have the most recent BIOS, a DOS partition with enough
space for hibernation.
Bill recommens to reformat HDD and reinstall a fresh Win95. Does it
really make a difference ?
Well, everything seems OK in DOS (DOS only session of Win 95).
I just tried to get EzServe repair. They ask me check the suspend on the
first screen of Ez-Setup(hold F1 when power on). Yes, it works. So what?
The Ez-Setup will be simpler program than DOS. However, that's the way
they check the problem. As long as no problem is found in the system
setup program, they don't give a service.
I think it should be a hardware problem, I have to prove it to EzServe
team. How can I do that ?
Thanks again
How can I do that ?
