-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
i just wanted to finish this as I found a solution and want it get archived in the list archive. If you experience power drain during hibernation check cat /sys/power/disk On my machine it was set to "platform", wich means the bios takes care of everything. After installing a new harddrive into my machine this did not work anymore and there was a small but noticable power drain during hibernation. Setting it to "shutdown" (echo "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk ) solved the problem for me. Check $LINUX_KERNEL/Documentation/power/ for details Thomas Iain Buchanan wrote: | On Fri, 2008-02-08 at 08:22 +0100, Thomas Kahle wrote: | |>> What happens if you suspend to disk, then take the battery out for a few |>> minutes or more - can you resume?
