Ok, I can't find an archive of this list, so I'm just posting the
question.  I tried searching google and deja, but got nothing.

I have a new Sony PCG-F250 laptop (Pheonix BIOS 4.0 Release 6.0).

The problem is that while the first suspend/resume works fine, when I
invoke the second suspend the system locks up (when this happens the
screen is still on, but the system doesn't respond).

This happens with both suspend-to-memory/standby and suspend-to-disk.
It also happens with both the command line program "apm -s" and the
suspend key combination.


The kernel reports:

  apm: BIOS version 1.2 Flags 0x03 (Driver version 1.9)

I tried the 2.2.9 kernel supplied with RedHat and a 2.2.10 kernel that
I compiled myself (both with all the options turned off, and with:

 Advanced Power Management BIOS support (CONFIG_APM) [Y/n/?] 
   Ignore USER SUSPEND (CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND) [N/y/?] 
   Enable PM at boot time (CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE) [N/y/?] 
   Make CPU Idle calls when idle (CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE) [N/y/?] 
   Enable console blanking using APM (CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK) [N/y/?] 
   Power off on shutdown (CONFIG_APM_POWER_OFF) [Y/n/?] 
   Ignore multiple suspend (CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND) [Y/n/?] 
   Ignore multiple suspend/resume cycles (CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE) [N/y/?] 
   RTC stores time in GMT (CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT) [Y/n/?] 
   Allow interrupts during APM BIOS calls (CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS) [Y/n/?] 

I have pcmcia compiled with apm.  I've tried it with pcmcia and apmd
running and with neither apmd running nor the pcmcia modules loaded.

I'll try FreeBSD next.  (Which is a bit painful as the only source for
apm-enabled BSD floppies is in japan.)

Any ideas what might be wrong here?
