I'm sure that's a rhetorical question though. As for your particular problems, the battery issue may be related to your system not operating according to the locking model. I fixed one thermal problem for brooks@ where his ASL generated notifies every time we read the temperature and the notify handler read the temperature. It may be something similar. Send me the ASL and I'll take a look. The suspend/resume issue has not been isolated but you can start by checking where it gets with a serial console attached (if it gets that far) or by putting some beep code in the resume handler to see if it even gets called (Warner has the patch in his tree, it may make sense to commit it under some option to help with debugging.) I'd love it if more people would help with debugging. I'm sure you can relate to maintaining a subsystem where behavior is widely divergent even among the same model device, OEM bugs are rampant and undocumented, and you don't have access to a system that can repeat the behavior that the submitter is reporting. As donations@ shows, I'm willing to accept problem laptops on loan or for donation. Currently, I own an IBM R32, T23, Sony PCG-F390, and Abit SMP. All work correctly including suspend/resume to RAM for the laptops. -Nate
