restart from hibernation fails to notice previous state of hiberna

[Mick]

Hello,
Running vista 64 and this used to work. I think it stopped working when I
successfully backed out SP1. (it didn't work with SP1 on either)

The system goes into hibernation ok (pc powers off etc) but when I press the
power button on again the system does NOT recognise that the last shutdown was
hibernate state and thinks the system failed to come down properly. No
apparent attempt is made to RESUME.

There is a error message - 'The previous system shutdown was unexpected' but
I think that is because it has failed to notice it should be doing a resume.
No other event messages found.

Actions I have taken to resolve this are:
I have reviewed these forums without much luck.
Deleted / created the hibernation file
Reviewed the event logs
Pulled my hair out.

Anyone any thoughts?

Right it's been 2 days and replies....
I've sorted it so I will briefly detail what I had to do to fix this. Maybe
this will help someone else.

I recently replaced a faulty system disk. I had a lot of trouble getting the
system to boot and I think I screwed something up here.

My problem, the system never tried to resume.. got me thinking that it might
have something to do with BCD.

Turns out I was right.

I changed bios to point to the new disk for booting and rebuilt the BCD
system.
There are various threads detailing how to do this on the VistaBootPro
website.
Sound simple but it took several tries. I used 2 tools VISTABOOTPRO 3.3 and
EasyBCD.

Hallo Mick!

I'm running vista ultimate 32bit and after installing sp1/rc1 i ran into the
same thing you described. also i recently changed my harddrive, but
everything was working fine with vista (without the sp). i have VISTABOOTPRO
3.3 and EasyBCD, but i couldn't get this problem fixed.
could you, maybe, give some more details, how you managed to fix this.

thank you for infos

greetings

Hello bugo,
I'm happy to help but can you detail the following:
Your boot disk (set in bios)
your system disk as stated in DIsk Management (should be the same as set in
bios)
your boot disk as stated in Disk Management
could you please dump your BCD using VistabootPro (view settings / all
/select all / copy and paste here
state the number of disk you have and in what order they are listed in disk
Management
how many os you have installed. Dual boot is it?

and finally confirm that your system hibernates succesffuly but fails to try
and recover from hibernation.

hi again!
thanks for answering so quickly!
first: i recovered my system with a backuptool, so it runs again without
sp1, all back to normal. would it help, to copy a bcd from the present
sys.status?

now the details:
i only have 1 harddisk with 2 partitions and that's the one in the bios.
bot-sequence is: 1)dvd, 2) floppy, 3) harddisk. i changed that, to boot from
hd first, did not help.

in diskmanagement its disk 0 with 2 partitions, C (system+ start part.) and
L for data, but L-partition is the first and C is coming thereafter (a box
with L and a second box with C) is this a problem?
i used to have dualboot on the old hd (worked ok), than i used a second, new
hd and copied vista (which was the default os) to the new harddisk and
finally erased xp from the old hd. shortly thereafter i removed the old hd
from the pc and all was running fine (incl hibernation) with vista (NO sp1).
after downloading sp1/rc1 all worked ok, but not the wakeup from hiber. it
goes into hiber ok (pc off) but when waked up, it doesn't resume, there is a
black screen and it says "win was not shutdown correctly and you may select
from 'normal start' or 'safe start' ....and so on.
i have a laptop with vista home premium and sp1 work ok on this system.

i add the dump from bcd BUT ITS FROM PRESENT STATUS WITHOUT SP1 !!!

Thank you once more for your help, good evening from Austria

good morning brink!

after installing sp1 rc1 and running into this hibernation problems i
uninstalled it via system control, as explained in the preinstall infos, but
that didn't help. there was no more sp1 on the system, but the hiberproblem
was still there.
so i rebuildt it with a backup software to the pre-sp1 state and it worked
ok again.
thank you for the link. i am running vista ultimate x32 and i think, these
instructions are mainly for x64.
maybe the problems are coming from transforming vista from a dualboot system
(first there was xp, then i added vista) to a new harddrive without xp now.
but as i said, it work fine without sp1 on the new hd with vista only.

thank you
greetings

Hallo again, Brink!

yes, i works ok, maybe this issue will be solved with sp1 final.

Thank you once more for the interesting link, i will add this forum to my
favorites anyhow!

appreciated your inputs!

greetings and have a good time

bugo,
glad to hear you are back up running again. Not much point looking at your
config now you have it running again. The main point with this problem is
that the BCD file became corrupt / broken and resolution was to rebuild it.
In the end I just added a new entry folllowed by a reboot, then did a
hibernate and it started to work.

 

[bugo]

hallo Mick!

yes, it's ok without sp1.
do i understand this right, you added a new (os?) entry in the vistabootpro
and that did the job? the question is, if that would help WITH sp1 installed.
i think, your problems started AFTER uninstalling sp1?

thanks again
bye

 

[Mick]

bugo,
I couldn't resume hibernation with sp1 on. At the time I thought it was
because of SP1, but I was wrong. So I backed out sp1 and still had the
hibernate problem. Rebuildng the bcd fixed the problem although like I said
before I tried many other things before I achieved success. I'm not going to
put SP1 back on because IMHO my system experienced more errors not less.

 

[bugo]

hi Mick!
to complete the thing from my side: i'm running the new realease of sp1
(744) on my vista ultimate without any problems (the first rc of sp1 ok as
well!), but i had to do a new installation before...
i think, my problem was, that i copied the vista part from a dualboot (with
xp) to a new harddrive and the remaining (boot)files of xp in vista did the
distortion.
now with the new, clean setup, everything works fine

greetings

Hello Mick:

While my sleep mode was working properly I needed to press any key (I used
the space bar) on the keyboard to waken the system and any scheduled task
properly set up would also waken the system and after the task the system
would return to sleep mode, it was perfect!!!

Hello all:

The saga continues. My system OS is Vista home Premium 32bit x86 in an HP
a1730n AMD Athlon X2 system. Until I had problems with AVG, my sleep mode
worked perfectly and now the system does not recover from sleep mode and the
subsequent boot gives the error message we've all seen too often. I an
reluctant to go the to the system recovery and start over again at scratch,
but... I will hang in a little longer before that desparate move. Thanks fo
all the great ideas here.

Hello all:

Yahoo!!! It works. What I did is go to MS Vista updates and check for
updates and was told there are none. An MS site itemized some SP1 install
problems one being the sound card driver. Then I Googled Realtech
Technologies , the maker of my sound card, and found what was called an
update for my sound card but the update had the same version number as my
installed file. that not withstanding, I downloaded and installed the
driver. I revisited the Vista update site and this time there was an
improtant update to install which I did.

I did not even have to reboot the system, I tried sleep mode and the system
woke up perfectly!!! All of the suggestions in this article helped me to try
ways to get to the problem, thanks.

Hello all again:

I forgot to mention that the last update that seemed to result in sleep mode
working was KB937287. It has run over night fine and to night I'll test that
scheduled tasks still perform properly.
