I finally managed to resolve my troubles with kde/pm-utils/hibernate&suspend... i'm wondering... it is in anyway dangerous this hand made script to tweak pm-utils on suspend? here you are:
piccolino:/etc/pm# cat sleep.d/95cpus #!/bin/bash . "${PM_FUNCTIONS}" case "$1" in suspend) invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils stop rmmod -f acpi_cpufreq ;; resume) modprobe -v acpi_cpufreq invoke-rc.d cpufrequtils start ;; *) exit $NA ;; esac this solve my proble with the dual core intel cpu when suspending (on ram): resuming resulted in missing cpufreq for cpu1 and missing stuff regarding this core all around /sys/devices/cpu/cpu1 etc. i'm a little bit anxious about the forced rmmod... any hints? Another question: while thaw from hibernate result in a system power consuming of ~16W and consequentially in a battery life ~3h, resuming from suspend results in a system power consume of ~18-19 slowly decreasing to 17 and a shorter battery life. That's true even considering the (i presume) high power (and time) consume on "boot" for hibernate! thanks for any advice
