I'm using SUSE 9.2 Pro on a Gigabyte 6BXD motherboard with Dual PIIIs.

I'm trying to get suspend-to-disk working. I've enabled acpi=force.

I get these error messages when trying to suspend:

Nov 8 16:12:30 desktop [powersave][4619]: Info: Executing internal action: do_suspend_to_disk Nov 8 16:12:30 desktop [powersave][4619]: Info: Set machine into suspend2disk(S4) mode Nov 8 16:12:30 desktop [powersave][4619]: DIAG in Function executeSleepScript,line 401: Prog to trigger sleep (/usr/lib/powersave/do_acpi_sleep) failed and exited with status 1 Nov 8 16:12:30 desktop [powersave][4619]: Info: Back from suspend2disk again

Anyone using STD with SMP?

Hi, Many of the P-III era MBs have flawed or broken ACPI bios. SUSE has included different options for handling the ACPI bugs on these MBs. I have 2 SMP Dual P-III (1 MSI and 1 Tyan) and the boot msgs report the ACPI to be problematic. I have never tried suspend, but I have seen instances of failure to shutdown or re-boot. Most times a second try will get the shutdown to go. Look at your /var/msg* or let YAST display them for you and see what the kernel developers have observed about your bios ACPI.
