------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-07-31 06:09 ------- In response to comment #9: David, Sorry to be responding so late -- I've been on nearly constant travel. I did *not* have hotplug CPU enabled. I enabled it and recompiled the kernel; with it enabled, the situation changes dramatically. First, cat /sys/power/state returns only mem whereas before the change it returned standby mem Trying to use "standby", I get this echo -n "standby" > /sys/power/state -su: echo: write error: No such device which is quite different from echo -n "disk" > /sys/power/state -su: echo: write error: Invalid argument which is also what I would get with, say echo 1 > /sys/power/state indicating that the "standby" state is considered a valid argument, but cannot be interpreted farther down the line. More importantly, this also seems to imply that I can now attempt to write to /sys/power/state So now we get to the last one: echo -n "mem" > /sys/power/state actually *works* and puts the machine in memory sleep! (For now, I have not been able to get it to wake up in any usable state, but that's probably just a question of hacking my scripts, figuring out which daemons and devices I can leave to handle themselves and which I have to handle myselves.) Thanks for the hint! I should now be able to get my machine to go to sleep properly. I remain puzzled about the change for "standby" and the continued absence of a "disk" state, but neither one is of much use to me normally, so I am not going to worry too much about it.
