SubjectRe: [PATCH] 2.1.120 and APM - lets try again
From
Date
OK, I've got some more info.  I compiled the kernel after undefing the 
line about interrupts (slips my mind what it is at the moment) and
after defining debugging.

This makes standby work but suspend does not.

Interestingly enough, when I do a standby, I get in the log:

APM BIOS received system standby notify
APM BIOS received system standby resume notify

If I use apm --suspend, I get only the following line:

APM BIOS received normal resume notify

However, if I press the laptop's suspend/hibernate key, I get exactly
the same messages I do when using standby (the two lines above). apm
--standby likewise gives only one line: "APM BIOS received system
standby resume notify". I am rather puzzled at the moment.
Apparently the machine is mistaking suspend events for standbys at
some point along the line.
