I've recently noticed that this bug only happens while KDE is running. 
It's quite weird... and it is not only because of KDE : it locks up the 
whole system ; if I'm listening to music when the bug happens, there 
are interrupts in the song... I had the same problem with Linux 2.4.23 
but without any message in the dmesg output.

S1 is not recognized (as written in the dmesg), and when entering S3 
the screen is turned off, and the machine is not responsive anymore to 
anything (even to the power button or to the LAN). I haven't tested S4 
and S5.

I have another problem : the contents of the /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/AC0/
state are not updated when I plug or unplug the AC adapter. The 
contents of this file are set correctly at boot time, and then there 
isn't any change until I reboot.
