Bug Description

I don't know where in Ubuntu this problem may be hiding or if this is even something beyond Ubuntu's control and inside the BIOS. It could be machine-specific or a general bug. Looking for discussion and triage.

My shiny new ASUS 1001P seems to suspend or otherwise scale-down when the lid is closed. This is nothing special, other netbooks and notebooks do the same. In my case, and I'm not sure if this is special or not, power to USB is cut. This leads to tremendous problems when the computer was booted off an external hard disk. It's possible to awake the computer from sleep by pressing the power button and the hard disk power is restored as well (as indicated by the power LED). But apparently access to the disk is not restored, anything not already loaded into RAM is unavailable. That even includes the shutdown and reboot command. The only way is a hard shutdown by cutting power to the computer.

I'm using karmic Ubuntu netbook remix.

Hi Rolf,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/karmic . However, note you can only test Suspend, not Hibernate, when using a LiveCD. If the issue remains, run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 523298

Also, please be sure to take a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume . If you can provide any additional information outlined there it would be much appreciated.

Additionally, if you could try to reproduce this with the upstream mainline kernel that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Thanks in advance.
