thanks for your suggestions, but i still haven't nailed it down, so perhaps's i'll be more specific... i initially posted that > i've managed to get fBSD 3.2 on an IBM Thinkpad 760el w/ nary a > hitch, but i seem to be having problems w/ APM. everything worked > beautifully as of my last install (2.2.7, i think), but now the machine > won't suspend.

(APM under power on Win95 also fails on my > ThinkPad) this i foolishly HADN'T tried, but, alas, unplugging A/C power didn't change matters. thanks anyway. Frank Louwers suggested: > Try ejecting all of your PCMCIA cards before suspending. I have the same > problem on a TP760CD with 3.1-RELEASE + PAO actually, this was my own omission: there were no PCMCIA cards plugged in during my attempts to suspend. what's strange about this is that the machine DOES SUSPEND, but wakes immediately back up... the kernel reports (for instance) Jul 30 07:02:30 bento /kernel: resumed from suspend mode (slept 00:00:10) i suppose some verbose loggin would help matters -- i tried booting the kernel w/ the -v flag, but that didn't effect APM logging. specifically, i'd love to know which function the BIOS called upon waking, and whether there's any way to log what event it was that woke the machine up. thanks for any further advice, kieran To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
