Thanks James, but even with acpi working, it still hangs. Even though I have deleted /etc/acpi/events/lid, it still crashes when I close the lid. Here is a snippet from dmesg when acpid loads up: ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present) ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present) ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (on-line) ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2, 2 performance states, 8 throttling states) ACPI: Thermal Zone [THM] (73 C) ACPI: Lid Switch [LID] ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PBTN] ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SBTN] How is ACPI configured ? I mean it looks like its stlll configured to do something when the lid is closed, even though there is nothing in /etc/acpi/events/ besides power. The bios is set to do nothing if the lid is closed, and the AC power is plugged in..... I'm getting close to giving up here..... :-( Mof.
