Hi everyone,
since i've upgraded the kernel to 2.6.13-ARCH I'm not able to suspend to ram. Suspending to memory was working before upgrading (on 2.6.12). I'm running on a Compaq Armada M700, Pentium III.
If I run acpi_listen and press the Power Button the button is shown.
If I do a "echo -n mem > /sys/power/state" there is no reaction.
This task depends upon

If it helps any I'm having this same problem on my gateway 3545GZ with a pentium M. Have had this problem with every kernel since the upgrade to 2.6.13 series including the 2.6.14 kernel in testing.

ok...
i found the reason to this... smp.
Try recompiling your kernels without smp support and it will work again.

I personally REFUSE to recompile a kernel (with ABS or not). This is 2006. The user should NOT have to recompile a kernel just to get something as important as laptop sleep, when OSX and Windows and even the freaking YellowTAB's Zeta OS can do it without having to do anything more other than closing the damned laptop lid.

Finally had time (and disk space) to recompile the kernel without SMP. Memory suspend is now working with 2.6.15! Thanks alot.

The important thing is to have this ability by default. Recompiling kernels manually, as you said, is not something we always "have time for".

new kernel 2.6.15.1-2 supports now suspend also with smp enabled
