Daily Fix - Saturday April 12th 2008

My Toshiba laptop started suddenly refusing to suspend and resume on Fedora Core 8 after I did some upgrades. It turns out that, at least based on my experimentation, the kvm and kvm_intel (for doing virtualization on Linux) modules are the culprit. Luckily, the fix for this is easy. If it doesn’t already exist, create the file:

/etc/pm/config.d/unload_modules

Add a line to that file:

SUSPEND_MODULES=”kvm_intel kvm”

That fixed the problem on my system.
