MtK Posted September 1, 2007 Posted September 1, 2007 (edited) Hi,whenever I hibernate my Notebook, I get a black screen, which I cannot tell if is really processing the Hibernate or Monitor went off.Hibernate takes a long time & HD led works a lot...Shouldn't I have a screen showing the Hibernate process, like there was in XP?

MtK Posted September 8, 2007 Author Posted September 8, 2007 Can anyone state if this is a normal behavior?
aviv00 Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 hey i have this with xp sometimes i duno what's that but its should be err the hibernate cant restorethat what i think
cluberti Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 If you hibernate, you should see a screen similar to the boot screen telling you that the machine is hibernating, and then the power should go off once that is complete. If it gets "stuck", that's definitely a problem. However, there's a hotfix for this that you can request online. If that doesn't work, it's most likely your network adapter (or in the case of wireless, also possibly the wireless access point or router) causing the issue.

If it gets "stuck", that's definitely a problem. However, there's a hotfix for this that you can request online.It doesn't get stuck (usually), but I do have some fingerprint issues (as stated on the HOTFIX).I'll try that, 10x...If that doesn't work, it's most likely your network adapter (or in the case of wireless, also possibly the wireless access point or router) causing the issue.can you please elaborate a little about this issue?(I won't be surprise if this is the case)
cluberti Posted September 9, 2007 Posted September 9, 2007 can you please elaborate a little about this issue?(I won't be surprise if this is the case)Sure - almost all hibernation issues with XP (and now Vista) seem to be related to poor network driver support, and those match the symptoms you described. Most cases I've come across or read about on the web related to the actual NIC, but I've heard of a few issues where having the AP or wireless router enabled caused the issue, and replacing the router fixed it as well. You could test if it was your NIC or not by disabling it in device manager and rebooting to see if hibernation behavior changes at all.

Disabled the NIC (Wireless) + Restarted.no good, I still have a black, long lasting Hibernate process.I must state again, that the process does finish eventually...
cluberti Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 Hmmmmm - perhaps you could configure the box for a complete dump, and then when the problem occurred again you could dump it while the hard disk is spinning like that?

cluberti Posted September 10, 2007 Posted September 10, 2007 I could, but again the computer is not hanging (certainly not crashing), it just take too loooooong... Right, and a memory dump at about halfway through the "wait" you are doing would tell us what is happening.
geo411m Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 i can confirm i'm having the problem too. i thought that was how vista hibernated.
MtK Posted September 11, 2007 Author Posted September 11, 2007 i can confirm i'm having the problem too. i thought that was how vista hibernated.me 2, until I saw otherwise...
cluberti Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 I'm not sure it should take a long time - my laptop hibernates in about 20 seconds, and even that is slow compared to my desktop (I know, hard disk spindle speeds, etc).
tyusaf Posted September 11, 2007 Posted September 11, 2007 (edited) I can confirm that it does take a long time (few mins) on my hp nc8430 laptop, but it does always finish. I usually pull all my usb cables, press hibernate and pop it in my bag. Never failed me yet. Bag does get toasty for a few mins though...--Tosh Edited September 11, 2007 by tyusaf
