This is the problem. I have absolutely no idea! I haven't configured
anything, it just does it. I know that S3 is the problem because I
manually typed in each of the Sx states until I got to the one that froze
my machine. I used:
cd /proc/acpi
echo 1 > sleep
(nothing)
echo 2 > sleep
(nothing)
echo 3 > sleep
(frozen)
I did install acpid, but I haven't configured anything...

I don't know where (or what) 1 rule is though...and I don't have the
/proc/acpi/events directory that's referred to in the man pages.
I tried doing dpkg-reconfigure acpid but all it seems to do is stop and
then start the daemon...it doesn't actually give me a configuration
screen.

Ok.

I'm more afraid of the BIOS than I am of the kernel. ;) I did reboot into
Windows and set all my power save functions to "never." I saw a reference
to it somewhere...

I'm not sure where to look.. this is from dmesg | grep ACPI

I'm already subscribed but I'm not even sure if my question is for them
yet. I was hoping their list would be a little higher volume and that
someone else would ask first. ;)
