Sure, I can believe that. It's also possible that when you try to enter S5, something goes wrong and the machine ends up powering off completely and then the BIOS writes to the RTC at bootup. Here's an experiment to try: echo shutdown >/sys/power/disk echo disk >/sys/power/state It performs a suspend-to-disk but enters S5 instead of S4. After that: maybe RTC or ACPI folks can help (see the MAINTAINERS file[1], and please cc me or this bug log if contacting them so we can track it). But I'd be more inclined to work on getting suspend-to-disk working without unloading the media capture driver first.
