Bug#290013: kernel-source-2.4.27: apm problem on IBM Thinkpad T40p: no suspend after closing the lid
Package: kernel-source-2.4.27
Version: 2.4.27-6
Severity: normal
Hi kernel maintainers,
Starting from kernel-source-2.4.27-6, my Thinkpad T40p does not go into
suspend mode when I close the lid (even though I use the 'standard'
kernel-config provided with kernel-image-2.4.27-2, where ACPI and APM
support is compiled in, ACPI is not used according to the output of
dmesg:
ACPI: Subsystem revision 20040326
ACPI: Interpreter disabled.
[...]
apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.16)
)
It worked perfectly with the original debian kernel
kernel-image-2.4.27-2 (which is based on kernel-source-2.4.27-5 according
to the changelog). Now I have compiled my own kernel from
kernel-source-2.4.27-6 in two versions:
- including the patch 103-enter-acpi-early.diff (so the original source
package)
- reverting the patch 103-enter-acpi-early.diff
in the first case, suspend does not work when I close the lid, in the
second case it does. And I do not use any extra kernel modules such as
the thinkpad modules.
For me, it's perfectly possible to work with a self-compiled kernel, but for
this IBM the debian-provided kernel worked out-of-the-box up to version
-2, which is pretty convenient for upgrading to newer version. That's
why I want to report this bug and hope that it can be fixed so that I
can go back to using the debian kernels without recompiling...
Thanks and best regards,
/Joerg
