I've got a laptop running Fedora Core 2 out of the box, and all I do is # echo 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep and I use the power button to wake it up. I've also got a D875PBZ, however [root-BJIgRQarj28@public.gmane.org /]# echo -n 3 >/proc/acpi/sleep Stopping tasks: ============================== stopping tasks failed (1 tasks remaining) Restarting tasks...<6> Strange, katad-1 not stopped done [root-BJIgRQarj28@public.gmane.org /]# which I guess is due to its SATA boot drive. Do you have a regular PATA drive? cheers, -Len ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
