Here's a partial solution that works at least on my A6Km. Fire up your text editor and point it at /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist. Add the following line and then reboot.
blacklist asus_acpi For some reason the hal daemon in Edgy doesn't like this module (Asus notebook acpi extras) on the A6 series notebooks. This line will prevent the module from loading and make hald, suspend etc. work again. The downside is you'll lose some acpi controlled functionality, like the LCD brightness buttons. -- HAL fails to initialize on ASUS A6 series notebooks https://launchpad.net/bugs/62990 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
