Remembering that many ppc-specific patchtes found their way into linux-2.6.11 I took a look at Ben's page <http://gate.crashing.org/~benh/>. I used the various "albook-ibookg4-sleep*.diff" patches, built and tested the various kernels. Testing means here: Would the ibook wake up after putting to sleep. Here are the results: Kernel Did it wake up? 2.6.9-vanilla Yes 2.6.9-sleep Yes 2.6.9-sleep4 Yes 2.6.9-sleep5 Yes 2.6.9-sleep6 No 2.6.9-sleep7 No Now I took the linux-2.6.9-sleep6 source and exchanged one file 'linux/arch/ppc/platforms/pmac_cache.S'. (I used the version out of 2.6.9-sleep5.) My ibook comed now back to life after putting to sleep. Please note, there are only small differences of the two versions of pmac_cache.S in 2.6.9-sleep6 and in 2.6.11. So, I think the cache handling is broken in some way.
