Once I activated apmd using runlevel in yast2 and the activation process ended up wreaking havoc on my system. Different things would no longer work after I suspended the notebook --among which were: network, internet, the link for starting/stopping smbfs, to name the most important.
Since I had to get some actual work done, and the system was working improperly, I installed another distro to get my 2-week backlog caught up, then reinstalled SuSE8.2 PE & installed the updates.
I made the conscious decision to *not* add apmd to runlevel, but instead I manually invoked it from the suid shell before suspending the box overnight. This morning everything worked --network access, internet, the works --for three hours, roughly. I got my e-mail, created some filters on the incoming, then decided to click on a URL within one of the messages. The dialog box came up and the browser never loaded. The wheels just kept on spinning. I invoked 'rcnetwork restart' from root and tried again. This time, I was immediately greeted with 'cannot find host' or whatever the message is. Pinging from konsole yielded the same results. It took a reboot before things would work as before.
I am just puzzled, and do not know where to start!
Sounds like an acpi issue, namely your computer needs it. Try acpid, or maybe pci=acpi for a boot parameter.
