Sounds as if your BIOS is set to wake up on events that get triggered when in standby. Things to check would be: - Interrupts in general, there might be some spurious ones, - Mouse/Keyboard (at least with a sensitive optical mouse...) - Network ...but look for all these in the BIOS setup. Otherwise set up hibernate-script to really shut off the computer. -hwh -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Either in the kernel: CONFIG_SUSPEND2_DEFAULT_RESUME2=swap:/dev/hda10 or on the boot line: resume=swap:/dev/hda10 If that still doesn't help, post back with the output of `dmesg | grep -i suspend` after you've tried to resume. HTH, Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I can get enough functionality with swsusp from gentoo-sources and so not need to change to suspend2-sources - although that may be a very procedure? Anyway I have created a 32GB SWAP partition (dev/sda5) and gadded resume=/dev/sda5 to the boot options. And also made the suggested change to /etc/acpi/default.sh in point (4) above.

[gentoo-user] Standby
I have failed in the passed to get standby working properly. There are various wiki notes but none seem to work properly. I know this is a bit vague but maybe I have missed something at the top level. Would someone mind making a list of pertient things I need to do. I can then go and read the relevant wiki pages ( and maybe update them with my new understanding). I am using 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+ AuthenticAMD. I have in the passed got to the point that pressing the power button shut the system down and added an entry into my grub menu.lst of: ### BEGIN HIBERNATE SENTINEL title _ configfile dummy title WARNING: Linux 2.6.22-gentoo-r5 is suspended via Software Suspend! configfile dummy ### END HIBERNATE SENTINEL but when I pressed the power button again it performed a full restart.

[gentoo-user] Standby not working
Hi guys! Im on a Toshiba Satellite A70, and was wondering how to get the suspend to RAM working. KDE can initiate a hibernate, which will basically make the system hang when it should turn off. Thats ok though, I really only want suspend to ram working, and for my purposes, couldn't care less about hibernate. I followed the guide on the Gentoo site: www.gentoo.org/doc/en/power-management-guide.xml but when I typed: echo -n mem /sys/power/state nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. echo -n standby /sys/power/state also does nothing. Any ideas on how to get this working? Thanks!
