Suspend to RAM in a Thinkpad R61 (Debian Lenny)

[pablob]

Hi!

I am having a strange problem when trying to suspend to ram (using s2ram). What happens is that it suspends nicely, but after a few seconds it wakes up automatically, without myself touching anything in the computer! This happened both under XFCE and Gnome, but not under a single-user boot (I've tried all -a settings for s2ram, but they made no difference).

I haven't found anyone describing anything like that, and I'm quite stumped at what might be happening... Any clues?

Thanks!

Bye & Good Luck!

I've found the problem: The e1000 module caused the computer to resume immediately after suspend.

The solution was to add these lines to /etc/default/acpi-support:

MODULES="e1000"
STOP_SERVICES="laptop-net"

(I don't know if the second one is completely necessary but it might help).

Then, to get the computer to sleep you just need to execute /etc/acpi/sleep.sh instead of s2ram (I added that in /etc/acpi/sleepbtn.sh so it will sleep on Fn-f4).

Bye & Good Luck!
