FC6 suspend not working

[steve941]

rats!
suspend doesn't work for me on Inspiron 9300
"YOUR computer Failed to suspend, check FAQ ..."
and i click the link for the FAQ and I didn't finish going through it cus im tired
anyway is suspend working for others .. / is it an easy fix?

[steve941]

here's what i tried:
http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/*checko...d-or-hibernate

[root@localhost ~]# lshal | grep can_suspend
power_management.can_suspend_to_disk = false (bool)
power_management.can_suspend_to_ram = true (bool)
power_management.can_suspend = true (bool)
[root@localhost ~]# gconftool-2 -R /apps/gnome-power-manager | grep can
can_hibernate = true
can_suspend = true

so everything looks good, but no suspend

FIXED:
it was a kernel issue ...

What did you change in the kernel to fix? Im having issues getting a Inspiron 9100 to resume properly.

Thanks

It would be highly appreciated if you could let us know what you did with the kernel to make suspend work.

for me it was the problem of having the 586 kernel installed -- there's a bug in Anaconda which installed the wrong kernel
anyway, here's what I did, hopefully it will work for others
<root>
BACKUP GRUB.CONF! >> cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.old

rpm -e --nodeps kernel
rpm -e --nodeps kernel-devel
rpm -ivh http://redhat.secsup.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm
rpm -ivh http://redhat.secsup.org/fedora/core/6/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/kernel-devel-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6.i686.rpm
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf.old /boot/grub/grub.conf

reboot and hopefully that helps
