Anyway this isn't a problem for me since I never use suspend, not even in windows where, supposedly (but I'm not sure), works, I just checked it to see if acpi was working, in order to make a whitelist. The rest of acpi seems to be working fine (I can see the battery status for example). Also, I reported the sound problem because I think it could be useful to put in the errata. Oh, another thing: I installed bootsplash (which I usually remove) just to see how it is working, well, it isn't. I can see that the image has been appended to the initrd (though uncompressed, i.e. the mkinitrd script first compresses it and then appends the image uncompressed) but dmesg tells me that the kernel couldn't find a valid bootsplash signature.

I installed with `Higher' security level, perhaps that has something to do with it? The `about a day' mentioned above suggests msec to me. Standard 9.1 install. Cheers; Leon

[Cooker] [mdkkdm] reboot options gone
I just wanted to reiterate what someone else posted. mdkkdm worked fine for me for about a day, but I have not had any reboot options since (it's been about 5 days now). The only way I can reboot my system is through console functions or after logging a window manager. _
