Dear listmembers, dear Stefan, thank you for the feedback; I found the root cause of the issue in the meantime. Both pm-utils and powersave process the ACPI events for suspend2ram and suspend2disk (with a thinkpad, suse10.2). The corrensponding entries in the file /usr/lib/powersave/thinkpad_acpi_events have not been disabled. Now, if the suspend process of one script is faster than the one of the other script it may happen that one suspend process "survives" the suspend. Unfortunately this process is processed after the next reboot. This explains why every second reboot was ok: the second suspend process did not exist any more. I guess this came out because I added some scripts in /etc/pm/hooks to ensure that several modules would savely be unloaded / programs be savely stopped. In addition you never know what process kills / unloads which module / program. Stability issues have to be expected (and were perceived) A patch is required for powersave; I would open a bug in bugzilla if nobody is opponing. Folks, seriously, I haven't seen such a buggy suse release since ever (maybe 10.0 / 10.1 were worse, I didn't test those). I can hardly remember to have found so many bugs within such a short period of usage time as in openSUSE 10.2, starting from LST 1.8 way back in the 90's. Novell appears to have reduced the staff for the development of the opensuse release to the tolerable (?) minimum and the quality department has been moved to /dev/null apparently. Everything boils down to investors profit. My 2 cents here, nothing really serious :-(. Dieter Jurzitza Am Montag, 16. April 2007 00:16 schrieb Stefan Seyfried:
