Comment 25 for bug 708286

To everyone who posted a "me too" comment: These sorts of bugs tend to be very specific to a hardware configuration or bios, so unless you have the exact same machine as in the original report there's a very strong chance that your problem is not the same. Please open new bugs for your problems by running 'ubuntu-bug linux' from a terminal.

@Daniel:

Toshibas are notorious for having bios issues, so there's a pretty good chance that the bios is to blame here. The first thing you might want to do is check for an bios update, although they can often be tricky to apply under Linux. Past that, here's a few wild guesses based on past experience.

If you leave the machine sitting for 10 minutes or so after starting the resume, does the resume eventually finish? This behavior has been observed on some Toshibas. It's a bios problem that we can't really fix, but there's a workaround that might work.

Here's a list of kernel command line options you might try to see if they make any difference.
* nohz=off
* highres=off
* nohz=off highres=off
* intel_idle.max_cstate=1
* intel_idle.max_cstate=0
* nolapic_timer
* acpi_skip_timer_override

Those are things that have been known to work around bios bugs on various machines. Let me know if any of them work, and we might be able to dig in further.

Colin King is also working on some stuff to help with suspend/resume debugging for Oneiric, and as that comes together we might have some more techniques for getting information out of the machine.

Thanks!
