The latter command only returns standby mem so no "disk". For now I'm fine with that, I'd be happy if echo -n "standby" > /sys/power/state would have any effect at all. Now since most things on acpi for linux are about 2.4 kernels and all pages that are talking about more recent kernels don't tell me how to find out what is going on when I give these commands, can someone tell me where I should look? Another question: when I do a find "sleep" (using the / key) in make menuconfig, it returns me an ACPI_SLEEP_PROC_SLEEP (deprecated), which is supposed to be in ACPI support. However, I can't find it, nor by grepping the .config. Does anyone know why it shows up in the search results or how I can compile it into the kernel? Thanks for any help, Diederick
