I don't understand why there would be any push to get ACPI in the mainstream kernel when it seems that the major goal for now is just booting and assigning IRQs. The machine that I'm using to test ACPI is a desktop, so maybe there's less concern for it for right now. However, I can't get any of the low power modes (except mode S5) to work. My machine either does nothing and continues to work normally, or it continues at full power until I momentarily press the power button, then my shell is returned to me. Shouldn't I be able to at least suspend my machine to RAM and turn off all of the fans and disk, before this goes to the main kernel? Even with APM, I can put the machine in standby/suspend, I just don't get fan control, which is what I'd like. Do I just not know what I'm doing? Should I be able to suspend my machine to RAM or disk with ACPI?
