Anything in the logs (/var/log/messages)? What kernel version does this
happen with? Can you add logger calls to pwrctl to see what really happens
here (call sync just after logger in the sleep branch for Core99 just to
be safe).

Odd. So sleep basically works but something related to the lid close wakes
up the machine (such as the PMU keeps generating interrupts, or sends
some ADB event instead of just waiting for a poll). Any idea, Ben? There
seems to be a way to control wakeup on lid open via /proc/pmu/options...
Please try echo "lid_wakeup=0" > /proc/pmu/options and see what that gets
you.
As a workaround, change pwrctl to shut down on lid close (that'll also
happen on snooze unless you use snooze -f). Or try to come up with some
way to detect the loop and only shuut down when you're trapped in the
loop.

New problems, no known solutions. I can't debug this myself so I'd
appreciate any hints you can give.
