Title: TC 1.4.3 Suspend on DOM
Post by: naicheben on June 16, 2009, 04:53:37 PM

Hi all,
after reading an article in the Linux-User 05/09 yesterday I installed TC-1.4.3 on a Disk On Module (32MB IDE-device). I tried to search the forum, wiki and googled, but it looks like I'm looking for the wrong things....

1) The DOM is installed on a Kontron Embedded PC with a Pentium-I 133MHz and 64MBRAM. It boots fine and I can connect via ssh from my laptop. But after some times of inactivity the system goes into a kind of suspendmode allthough I did not install suspend.tce
If I then want to ssh into the system I first have to hit the keyboard ... walk back to my laptop ... and then I can log in.

2) I tried to echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state
but it does not change. It still contains "disk"

3) How can I make these settings persistent, if I ever manage to make them change?

Thank you very much for TC it is realy an amazing peace of software.

1) this is not typical of any linux system. There's something in your hardware that forces this, maybe a bios setting?

2) having only "disk" there means your bios doesn't support the other modes

Thank you for your quick reply, you were right. It was APM settings in BIOS.

Now I will go and try to learn more about storing settings and apps on the DOM....I guess I was to tired yesterday.
