Good day.
I installed SuSE 10.2 recently onto my laptop, Acer 5612WSMi. Here is
the s2ram -i output:
    sys_vendor   = "Acer"
    sys_product  = "TravelMate 5610"
    sys_version  = "0100           "
    bios_version = "V1.11     "

It has Intel(r) 945GM Express chipset and NVidia GoForce 7300
videocard. I am using open-source "nv" video driver.
'Suspend to RAM' feature of kpowersave wasn't working initially (it
looked like computer awakened immediately after suspending, but I saw
in the logs that my computer simply was not in the whitelist, thus no
suspend was performed at all). I decided to configure this feature and
followed the instructions at http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram. I booted
the system with init=/bin/bash, mounted /proc and /sys and called all
the versions of -f combinations of s2ram keys, one by one. The
behaviour was the same for all of them - active system (like, the
trick with Caps Lock works and system reboots with Ctrl+Alt+Del), but
monitor did not power up.

Any advice on this matter would be great.

Also, there is another strange problem, which I did already have once
with Debian. Sometimes all applications that try to access hard drive
freeze for a minute or two, and then continue normal functioning. The
following lines appear in the /var/log/messages:

It is very annoying. The reason I ask about this bug here on
suspend-devel is because I have not seen this bug on my new SuSE
installation till the last night, when I mendled with suspends. Before
this moment I only used suspend to Disk, but the morning after
attempts of configuring s2ram I had like three freezes of this kind on
10 minutes! I rebooted system to Windows and then back to SuSE and had
no freezes for several hours now.
I used acpi suspend functionality on Debian, and the freeze appeared
there quite often.


Thanks in advance for your help,
Evgeny V. Chesnokov.
