ibook doesn't wake up when hald is running

[ralph]

I'm having problems with waking up my ibook. After having played around with the problem a bit I narrowed it down to hald running.
That is, after starting hal my ibook will go to sleep but it will not wake up. It's stopping after waking up eth0 and the only thing I can do then is a hard reboot.

Did anyone experience similar problems?

I'm running the latest hald, dbus, udev and pbbuttons here on a G3 800 ibook.

Edit:
When hald is not running I get:

Looks like a deadlock. Ask people at netdev@oss.sgi.com

Which kernel are you using? I have sleep problems with my iBook2 700Mhz and kernel 2.6.8-r7.
I don't know where this comes from, but I think it has something to do with the radeon-driver. After starting xorg I could not switch back to console. After putting the iBook to sleep the screen goes black and then after a few seconds backlight is on again. Waking up does not work...
so, this might be a completely other problem, but who knows.

I'm using kernel 2.6.8-r6.
I don't think it's a kernel issue though in my case as sleep and wake up work absolutely fine if hald isn't running.

@colinleroy: Probably a dumb question, but who are those people and why should I asked them?

hey, having the same problem. running a g3 500mhz with the rage128, so I don't think it's a radeon driver issue. using kernel 2.6.9.

[ralph]

At least I'm not alone.
As it always hangs on eth0 I think it's an issue with this driver.
@SeraphWhisper: Does the g3 500 also have a Sungem networkcard?

yea, the g3 500's got a sungem, but I don't think the network cards are the problem. I usually use my airport rather than the ethernet and it still gives me errors. I think it's dying on the ide_pmac bit. Removed both network cards and it still hangs right before that ide_pmac stuff.

I put together a quick workaround tho, which I'll post below

[SeraphWhisper]

Here's a quick workaround using the PowerManagement Control Scripts. Put the following script in /etc/power/scripts.d. Then put symlinks to the script in /etc/power/suspend.d and resume.d, making the dirs as necessary. Enjoy both HAL and a sleeping ibook

Works like a charm!

Thanks so much, finally I have an ibook that not only wakes up but also runs the gnome-volume manager and both at the same time!

I have the same problem with a G3-600 iBook. Sometimes it wakes up, sometimes not.
I tried now 5 times without a problem.
Mostly it hangs after a "self-suspend" after the timeout. Then resuming hangs with "airport waking up".
Kernel is still 2.6.10-gentoo-r6.

Thank you very much. I can't see if the script is processed, but it works.
kded mediamanager is now also disabled in the control center.

This has something to do with mounting? Maybe this will also solve my problem, that sometimes the cd drive doesn't open anymore, eventhoug the media is unmounted.
