Hi Ben! After downloading kernel 2.6.11 sources, patching 2.6.12-rc1, then patching 2.6.12-rc1-bk6 and compiling, I have done some test as you asked. I've attached a log file with a little explanation. Basically, I've put information about "/proc/cpuinfo" and "/proc/pmu/battery_0" before and after to suspend to ram. I got an iBook G3/600Mhz/256MB/20GB/Ati16MB. I've "cpudyn" installed and for this reason the cpu frecuency is 400Mhz, because it's in powersave mode. I don't know if I've done some wrong (I'm a new kid on the block on this :-)), but with the 2.6.12-rc1-bk6 kernel, just when starts the boot Debian Linux, the machine stay a few seconds quiet, just when the kernel is loaded. With my old kernel this didn't happen. Then it continues, and boot correctly, as always. Also, when I close the lid for suspend to ram (without any usb devices plugged), it suspends correctly. The problem comes when I open the lid and the system tries to turn on. Just at this moment, my system crash, with a black lcd and no reponse through the keyboard. All the computer stops, the hard disk power off... I've to push the power-off button about 5 seconds and then I can turn on the computer again. If you need other information or I've done some wrong or whatever, tell me. I want to help. :-) Thanks again for your work and your patience. Regards. Esteban. -- Keep it soulful and spread love!
