[ltp] Rebooting when going to hibernation

[Dmitry E. Mikhailov]

Please first try to check if the pure hibernation works.
First, boot to the single user commandline mode by adding 'single' (with no 
quotes) to the kernel  paremeters list in GRUB or your bootloader.

Then, after getting the prompt try that:
[root@ibm power]# echo -n "disk" > /sys/power/state

That would trigger the pure hibernation. Then we'll see if it works. If it 
does, then the problem is in the hibernation script, not the kernel.

If it would not help, the problem is in the kernel. Let's take a look at the 
contents of...

[root@ibm power]# cat /sys/power/disk

That's the file which controls the way PC is shut down after hibernation.
I get that:
[platform] test testproc shutdown reboot

Brackets show active mode. Platform = shut down via firmware. Shutdown = just 
shut down. Reboot = just reboot. If your choice is PLATFORM, try changing it 
to SHUTDOWN. It may (or may not) indicate buggy firmware.

[root@ibm power]# echo -n "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk
[root@ibm power]# cat /sys/power/disk
platform test testproc [shutdown] reboot

If it helps, you should add 
	echo -n "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk
to your rc.local script.

Even if it helps, post your results here. People should know.

	Best regards, Dmitry.
