Yes I have two batteries (initially both charged, and after I got the problem when swapping #1 to #2, I did the test with #2 only, just to be sure that swapping battries could still work under some conditions). > you are using battery #2 (and it's charged?) put the machine to sleep, > remove the battery, wait a few seconds to simulate changing batteries > and then put battery #2 back in the machine successfully wakes from > sleep? Yes. > But when you try the same scenario with battery #1 it fails? No, this is not the same scenario. In this case, the machine was automatically put to sleep because of the low charge; that's why I had to change the battery. BTW, I've just noticed another difference: I had kernel 2.4.25 at this time (for the #1 -> #2 change). But as the default kernel is 2.4.18 on my machine and I had to power the machine on, it booted with this kernel 2.4.18, and the test with the second battery occurred with this kernel. > >>ps. you meant 1984-01-01 not 1904-01-01 right? > > > >No, it was 1904. > > What kind of problem can cause this?
