Re: problems with acpi (sleep states) on vaio notebook z1sp

I minimized the number of errors by unloading ALL modules before 
trying to suspend. Finally, it came down to what seemed like just 
one error message while resuming:

kernel: MCE: The hardware reports a non fatal, correctable incident 
occurred on CPU 0

So I booted up with the "nomce" option and the acpi option you had 
below and now the MCE error does not show up while resuming.. but I 
still don't have display after resume.

Hopefull I'll get to the point where the only things that don't work 
on resume are the keyboard/mouse.

Yes, I unloaded all USB drivers before suspending.

This definitely seems to be the issue.. wonder if this will help but 
here's the output on resume (and the last line from suspend) from 
syslog:

Dec 24 19:51:01 variance kernel:  hwsleep-0257 [33]

Dec 24 19:51:01 variance kernel: hdc: completing PM request, resume

I don't see anything suspicious here.. please let me know if you see 
something...

Thanks,
