With an unhealthy dose of jealousy I've been reading the success stories of many suspending the Macbook. I have no such luck.
After trying a lot of different patches and kernel configurations, I am almost ready to give up. I just can't get it to work. Before giving up altogether, I thought maybe I'd ask for help in debugging this problem and eventually getting suspend to work on my box. The box is a Macbook non-pro (1.83GHz) and here's what I've tried, so far: o Vanilla kernels 2.6.18, 2.6.19.2 and 2.6.20-rc4 o Same as above with mactel patches o Suspending by echoing mem to /sys/power/state o uswsusp's s2ram(1) (1) I booted with init=/bin/bash and tried several combinations of arguments to s2ram What happens is that the display is turned off correcty but then the computer freezes completely. I have to hold the power button down for a couple of seconds and then power the macbook back on. s2ram seems to have the laptop in its whitelist. Here's what it says about my box. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# s2ram -n Machine matched entry 2: sys_vendor = 'Apple Computer, Inc.' sys_product = 'MacBook1,1' sys_version = '' bios_version = '' Fixes: 0x4 VBE_SAVE This machine can be identified by: sys_vendor = "Apple Computer, Inc." sys_product = "MacBook1,1" sys_version = "1.0" bios_version = " MB11.88Z.0061.B03.0610121324" See http://en.opensuse.org/S2ram for details. From init=/bin/bash I can actually see something happening, although I don't know whether this is much help: Switching from vt1 to vt1 Calling save_state Allocated buffer at 0x2010 (base is 0x0) ES: 0x0201 EBX: 0x0000 [ 23.800000] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

I see the little hardware cursos blinking but the box doesn't respond. A hard reset is required... I am writing this in the hope that I am doing something obviously wrong or that someone may give me tips on how to debug this.
