Hibernation

I have built an image with windows logon, acpi uniprocessor, dump disk, and
power management. When I try to hibernate the system it goes to blue screen
and then restarts the system. I know that the board supports hibernation
because I have used XP Pro to prototype the system. Any suggestions on what
I have doing wrong?

Thanks
 
A couple questions:

Did you enable hibernation in the ACPI Uniprocessor component? If so, does
the hiberfil.sys file exist psot-FBA? If the hiberfil.sys doesn't exist is
there enough empty space to hold the amount of RAM in the system?

Yes on all counts. I am using a 30gb harddrive

Tim,

Does regular Stand By feature work on your target with that XPe image loaded?

Please check out if all the drivers got installed properly there (use Device Manager or devcon tool). Especially please pay
attention to the video driver. If should be the one that supports your target video card and it should be funcitonaning properly
 
It goes into stand by and the resumes immediatly with Error:0 Operation
completed successfully.
 
Tim,

This is actually the reason why Hibernation doesn't work for you. It goes to StandBy first to unload some drivers and put others in
S1-S3 states.

In Device Manager you may want to check if all the devices support going to D1-D3 state. If some don't, they may be responsible for
the system not going to StandBy. You can then disable or delete those devices.
Also, please check if any of the drivers there have settings like "Wake On..." set (e.g., Wake on ON, Wake on Usb)

Btw, when you checked out the video driver, was that a driver from XPe database or you componentized it by yourself?
 
Each device supports D0 and D3 states. Also the video driver componet came
from advantech so I would assume it works correctly. But if it seems that if
i give it the standby command first then the I can use the hibernate command
from then on.

Does that make sense?

I wouldn't. You can only be sur eif you check the driver at run time and verify that it is the right driver and working properly
(you can change screen resolution and etc.).

i give it the standby command first then the I can use the hibernate command
from then on.

Nope. It doesn't. How you are planning on using any command from the StandBy mode?


Well, I have no idea why StandBy is failing on your device. It could be becuase of a missing component or registry.
But it is rather a driver issue (some drivers are faling to go to standby mode on your device or force the resume right away).

I can only suggest you to try XPProEmualtion image (www.xpefiles.com). At least you'd know if this is a missing software component
issue.
