-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Ok, after a weekend of suspend/resume (I have not actually shutdown the laptop since I installed the new kernel at work on Friday), I am now a fan. I have not had a single failure. Sometimes I was connected with a wired lan, or the ndiswrapper WLAN nic, or sometimes not at all. Sometimes the AC was connected, sometimes not (I tried to randomize this as much as possible). I tried having USB devices connected, as well as PCMCIA devices, but nothing seemed to make a difference.
So, I am not sure that I can really help since I can't seem to replicate the problem. I do have to manually suspend the laptop since I purposely disabled the suspend on lid close option (moving from room to room does not warrant a full suspend) in the bios. The only thing I can think of is to try a newer kernel. Gustin Johnson wrote: > > > Jon wrote: >>> Gustin Johnson wrote: >>> >>>>> That is much newer, not that old at all.
