Re: Suspend to RAM

Alas, none of the debugging information shows anything that jumps out
at me as being wrong.  I see a lot of cases where the machine entered
suspend mode but never resumed -- I assume those are the crashes you
are talking about.  In that case, the system never even makes it to
the point where the apmd daemon has control.  A pretty hard crash.

What is strange is that you have disabled user suspends, and yet, you
can still call "apm -s".  My understanding was that "apm -s" *is* a
user suspend; the only system suspends are time-out based.  Did you
receive any specific recommendation to use that particular set of
compile flags?

I installed RedHat 6.1 on my Sony, and it seems to have the kernel APM
module enabled by default (Linux kernel 2.2.12).
