Re: APM: will not sleep with AC plugged in?
User space cannot veto APM suspend requests in current Linux kernels. What is keeping your machine from suspending is the firmware. If you have a PCMCIA card then try ejecting it before attempting to suspend. -- Thomas Hood

I can't help you I'm afraid but I think you're probably right to stick to
APM. I have been running ACPI using acpi=force as a boot parameter,
(suggested in my dmesg), I thought it was a good thing that one or two
modules that would otherwise fail were now being loaded at boot-time, but
I have had the laptop overheat on me three times now!!! All ACPI seems to
do is shut your machine down _instantly_ before it burns up! The fan
would run constantly or not at all depending on how hot it was at a reboot
and even when it was on, it whirred away at a steady but insufficient
speed to prevent the kernel from taking drastic action. No to ACPI! Not
on my Dell anyhow.
