not much better. == echo mem > /sys/power/state == This just shutsdown the machine spontaneously. I briefly see what looks like a progress bar saying "freeing memory" but this lasts less than a second so i could be wrong. Is this expected? Seems to me power shouldn't be completely turned off like this... When I boot the machine again, it comes back up, without going through the BIOS (apparently), ends up in a state where caps and num leds are on, nothing is responding and the LCD screen is empty (but active). The fan is turning like crazy so I guess it's doing *something*. I must hold onto the power button to make it turn off. Next power up leads to nothing, i need to hold the power button again to get to the bios and the regular bootup procedure. At this point, i'm stuck after the kernel and the initrd get loaded by grub: it's frozen again. This looks like when this laptop is overheating, btw. Doing a third reboot gets me into a useable session. Also note that i'm running those tests with GDM/X11 stopped. == echo disk > /sys/power/state == Ok, so this doesn't work either... Here is what in does, without me intervening at all (this is transcribed by hand again, so bear with me). This starts by Freezing cpus ... Stopping tasks: =====...

I also notice the fans are going pretty fast (although not as if overheating). I also saw a: CPU0: temperature/speed normal while typig the above messages, so i guess this means something is still alive somewhere in there. Indeed, I can switch VTs, but the original "echo disk > /sys/power/state" is just sitting there freezing the terminal. Control-c/z/\ doesn't do anything. I can't login into other vts, characters typed there do not appear on screen (whereas they do in the original console where i called "echo"). I can do an emergency sync (alt-a-sysreq-s). A "showPc" shows me: Pid: 0, comm: swapper EIP is at acpi_processor_idle... ... [<c0101b52>] cpu_idle+0x9f/0xb9 [<c03186fd>] start_kernel+0x379/0x380 showTasks seems to write a loooooooot of stuff on screen, i guess with all processes call trace. I can umount and poweroff... I might try to hook a serial console onto this thing to copy/paste some of this stuff or do further diagnosis if you think it is useful. So, still a problem with 2.6.18, from etch. I hope this helps at all. A.
