On my ThinkPad T42 when suspend-to-ram is active there is a little "moon" led lit to indicate that power is being used to keep the ram alive. When illuminated it shows the machine as sleeping, drawing power, and not hibernated. Does your not have such an indicator? > By the way, this doesn't work for me: only resume from swap works > making this method completely unuseful. Unfortunately it is not uncommon on laptops to find that one method or the other is not functional. Or worse that neither works. If you haven't yet then browsing the wonderful thinkwiki.org site may turn up some hints as to your problem. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_ACPI_suspend-to-ram Bob
