Hi list, I don't know what the correct approach to this is, but I need some help :-) I have been trying to get my Acer Aspire 5672 to suspend to ram, using kernel version 2.6.22 patched by Gentoo (r8). The ACPI functions work for shutting down the machine, and (but I'm not sure of this) for suspend to disk. When I set /sys/power/state to "disk" the power-led switches to orange (which it also does when switching to suspend in Windows). >From the above I think that ACPI is working as it should, but when I try to suspend to ram the machine switches to the correct state (orange power-led) but is unable to resume. When resuming the machine hangs, disk spins up but it's not reacting to for example the num-lock key. I've read a lot about how suspend to ram is supposed to work, and if I understand it correctly the ACPI functions from the BIOS are supposed to jump to kernel code when resuming and the kernel should initialize all hardware correct? Is there some way to check whether it is actually reaching kernel-code, and thus if this might be fixable in kernel? I have already tried to patch the DSDT, but to no avail. The errors: Some reserved symbols being used and some methods that didn't return a value for all controlpaths (notably _WAK which I changed to return 0x00,0x00 on the last line). Is there anything else I can try? Regards, Tomas P.S. I'm not a native English speaker, so sorry for some weird grammar choices. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
