The machine is completely dead with vga=0 (all options). Previously, I had tried netconsole to monitor what happened, and on resume, some text did appear, as follows (being a bit explicit here since this is something others who have problems may want to try too): -=-=-=-=- modprobe 3c59x # only needed if booting with init=/bin/bash modprobe netconsole [EMAIL PROTECTED]/,[EMAIL PROTECTED]/other-eth-mac-addres" On other machine: nc -l -p 6666 -u | tee weasel_suspend.log gives: netconsole: network logging started Freezing cpus ... Stopping tasks: =====================================| *** press power button *** PM: Writing back config space on device 0000:02:07.0 at offset f (was 34001ff, writing 5c001ff) . . [skipping more writing back lines] . pnp: Device 00:07 does not support activation. pnp: Device 00:08 does not support activation. Restarting tasks... done Thawing cpus ... -=-=-=-=- At this point, the machine becomes unresponsive (no CAPS LOCK, etc.) (Note that this is from a while ago, so the version may have changed, though there still is no way to get a responsive machine with vga=0.) > If this does not work in VGA mode, but works in vesafb, this would definitely > need some investigation. Just to be sure I understand what I did myself: giving vga=792 (0x318) effectively invokes vesafb? But why then would vga=773 (0x305) not work? (Difference should just be 8 bit color depth versus 24 bit.) In any case, if you have any experiments you would like me to do, I'd be glad to help.
