Help! APM "suspend" appears to be broken in 5.3-R ! Having more-or-less tamed 5.2.1-R on my Toshiba Sat Pro 6100 since early March, I was hoping that the new 5.3-R would move forward in functionality and stability. So when 5.3-R was announced, I burned disc 1 and upgraded my 5.2.1-R partition to 5.3-R... Built a custom kernel to include APM, enabled APM actions, then, fingers crossed, issued "apm -z" to suspend the system. After a second or so, "wi0: detached" for the miniPCI wireless card, then, nothing -- no keyboard response, no power down. The system hangs, requiring a power-down via the power switch and a hard boot. After 7 years of FreeBSD on Toshiba notebooks, this is the *first* time a FreeBSD release wouldn't suspend the system (resuming correctly, however, at times has been another matter). With APM debug turned on, I see "APM ioctl: cmd = 0x20005001" following "apm -z", and before the "wi0:detached" message. Pointers to where APM suspend might be hanging will be appreciated. I don't mind poking around the kernel code to try to fix this, but I could use some direction here. Otherwise, I guess we go back to 5.2.1 ... [BTW: ACPI suspend hasn't yet worked on this Toshiba, either.] -- Gary E. RAFE, Ph.D. <mailto:rafege@mail.com> Please note: HTML-encoded mail is discarded unread.
