[Bug 1331077] Re: [Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540] suspend/resume failure

 

Sry, I don't have the time right now to post the bug upstream. I'll do
it as soon as can get to it.

The last working BIOS version for me is 1.61. I up- and downgraded quite
a lot for the purpose of testing this bug - and as long as you follow
the instructions (do NOT turn off your computer etc. ...) this should be
quite safe.

Downgrading works just the same way as upgrading (boot from the BIOS
update CD), but in the `Security` Menu of the BIOS besides enabling
`Flash BIOS Updating by End-Users` (which you also need for upgrading)
you have to disable `Secure RollBack Prevention`. (See p. 118 of the
English User Guide.)

** Description changed:

  suspend to RAM failed before it was completed:
  * fan was still on and
  * Fn-F1- & Fn-F4-status LEDs were still on (signifying muted speakers and microphone respectively)
  * nevertheless the general ThinkPad LED (the i's dot) (/proc/acpi/ibm/led 0) behaved like normal: slowly blinking, which normally means "I'm suspended to RAM."
  * however resume was impossible: wakeup failed through mouse clicks, various keyboard keys and combinations and also the power key, only a hard reset (5s or so holding down the power key) could bring it back to life
  
  Adding the kernel cmdline option acpi_sleep=nonvs was of no avail, too.
  
- I recently upgraded to a new BIOS v2.07 [2], I think the problem exists
+ I recently upgraded to a new BIOS v2.07 [1], I think the problem exists
  since then.
  
  Update
  ======
- I confirmed that this is definitely a BIOS issue. The last working BIOS is v1.61 [3], so the change was introduced by v2.07 [2]. Installing the latest v2.08 [4] does not fix this problem.

  - (Fix) Fixed an issue that system will auto wakeup after shutdown when battery capacity is under 15% on DC only.
  - (Fix) Fixed an issue related to APS.

  By the way, I could not find a new GPU config option in the BIOS, same
  old choice <Integrated> vs. <Optimus>, nothing new.
