   OK, last post in the current batch. :-)   
      
   Since my last updates, I can't seem to get my laptop to suspend   
   any more, neither to disk or to RAM. Before I just used   
   "acpitool -s" to put it to sleep and "hibernate", but now both   
   of the commands initialize the process (i.e. switch to the console)   
   but then obviously hang. I waited several minutes before I then   
   had to hard reboot the machine.   
      
   I don't get any output of hibernate in /var/log/messages but it   
   writes something to screen like the usual "Freezing processes & syncing   
   filesystems, stopping tasks" etc. before it hangs. Writing to disk   
   is obviously never initiated as the disk light stays off.   
   For acpitool -s I just get   
      Oct 25 18:57:14 schnurps PM: Preparing system for mem sleep   
   in  /var/log/messages just as it always did when it still worked.   
      
   I'm still running kernel built from suspend2-sources-2.6.22-r1,   
   the same as when it was still working. As a first try to get it   
   working, I also updated   
      acpitool-0.2.7         -->  acpitool-0.4.7-r1   
      hibernate-script-1.96  -->  hibernate-script-1.96-r1   
   but that didn't help. I output epm -qa of a working and the   
   broken condition and append that below, in case that reminds   
   someone of something.   
      
   Thanks in advance for any idea,   
      Peter.
