Failure to hibernate when virtual machine running.

[markg735]

While running Ubuntu 6.10 Edgy as a guest on Windows XP Media Center Edition (Build 2600, Service Pack 2, recently updated) I had the virtual machine running and attempted to hibernate my system. A balloon in the notification area indicated there were not enough free resources to hibernate and the mouse pointer became non-responsive. A reboot was necessary to correct the situation.

The hibernation was started through a hot-key. Perhaps there was too much (NP?) pool allocated for hibernate to work?

I observed a similar problem: This is a Ubunty Feisty host running any flavor of Linux (e.g. Fedora Core 6 / Fedora 7).

When either of the two (guest or host) try to go into hibernation the host is blocked and won't wakeup again.

Which graphics cards and drivers are you using?
