SOLVED: APM not waking up after prolonged sleep to RAM
As many of you might have read with both 2.6.9 and 2.6.10 kernels and
APM, my Thinkpad T40 (2373-92G) did not resume after being left in
suspend to RAM for a longish time (very approx. over 45 min).
Shorter sleeps went just fine and the machine restarted just perfectly
with it's brilliant GNOME desktop and X.
The solution was found in a BIOS setting.
In the config->power section, towards the bottom, there was a setting
which sounds like "Hibernate after suspend expires -> Enabled". I just
put this as Disabled and my TP woke up this morning like a young 6 years
old on Sunday morning :)
I'm happy :)
The power consumption is very good.
This is quite logical since something must have happened between a short
and long sleep. It was this suspend timer expiring.
Now I hopw this info will help people more kernel knowledgeble than me
to fix this once for all.
Peace and happiness to all,
Bob
