I rebuilt with debugging on, stripped the system and tried again. I saw the suspend event and everything up to the final call into the APM bios. Upon resume, nada. I'm going to do a bit more debugging. Oh, I have checked against the linux differences in the APM code. The most evident difference is the removal of a CLI instruction from the call into the APM BIOS. I haven't ripped the code all apart though. | Kenton A.
