    I got my Dell XPS 15 able to boot 17.1 now. The problem was the flashdrive was incorrect, and an MD5 checksum found it for me.

    I reinstalled Antix-17.1_x64-Full and will now see if I can get it to suspend and wake up, and hibernate and resume, manually, and then from the menus.

    BTW, this is the machine with the Skylake processor and dual intel/nvidia graphics that has always had trouble waking up or resuming, so its pretty much a worst case scenario.

    PS: Ok, if I add the kernel to Linux 4.9.0-6-amd64 via synaptic, add my skylake boot cheat codes below and update-grub, then reboot using that kernel

    i915_preliminary_hw_support=1 acpi_osi=! acpi_osi=Windows

    I can suspend and resume
    I can hibernate with pm-hibernate from a terminal as root, and when it starts to boot, select that same kernel again, and it resumes also.

    What this tells us is that the pm-hibernate must setup the resume in the grub.cfg, resume file and fstab, because I didn’t set any of them up, yet it worked.

    So now I know that hibernate/resume works manually when working with a normal hard drive install setup. Next will be to fix the hibernate bug and undo the menu changes that removed Hibernation from the menus.

    I will now also remove the other kernels that have trouble so that the default one is the one that works.
