Yo...Sorry, that I'm late with my test results.<br /><br />Your 4.0.y-gc code is working fine on my machine.<br /><br />The reason for beeing late is, that tuxonice for 4.0.0 code has gotten much more unreliable. And I needed to verify, if I had made a wrong patch from Nigel's github. Still no official release patch from him? Also, the github download of a zip file (of Nigel's tree/branch) sometimes omits files. Bah!<br />Tuxonice's unreliability is, that when it hangs/sticks, it most times sticks when doing atomic copy/restore on here after suspend to disk/ hibernate. With the 3.19 version of tuxonice I was able to retry the saved image, and most times was lucky to get my system back either immediately or after some attempts.<br /><br />Someone still needs to explain, why attempt 1 (failing) to load the image differs from attempt 8 (working) !<br /><br />The tuxonice for 4.0.0 had an extra failure possibility on here. It just made the system hang, when X got up again after hibernation. But at that late stage, the hibernation image is gone forever.<br /><br />I ended up with modifying the 3.19 tuxonice patch for use on a 4.0.x kernel, that is now working well. Possible to retry the image more than 7 times... but to get my system back working @ No.8 (!) and no hangups when X gets up.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />ManuelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963790426029213933.post-32109627529559643882015-04-28T07:23:57.900-07:002015-04-28T07:23:57.900-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05476950420465200096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963790426029213933.post-83078586966134141002015-04-27T19:43:45.872-07:002015-04-27T19:43:45.872-07:00Thanks for testing.Thanks for testing.Alfred Chenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03164306846702841944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2963790426029213933.post-58502654294836060382015-04-27T03:50:32.228-07:002015-04-27T03:50:32.228-07:00Booted OK for me.
