Unknown "mem" state issue

Unknown "mem" state issue

[Petros Kolyvas]

Hi!

I can't seem to send my system into the "mem" state. I've recently
switched from FC4 to Gentoo. My kernel is 2.6.13-r3 with some custom
patches - including the new ieee802.11 subsystem (ieee80211.sf.net) for
the linux ipw2200 drivers (ipw2200.sf.net) patched directly into the
kernel (which may very well be part of the problem) - but I was unable
to suspend to memory before such patching occurred. acpid is 1.0.4-r2
and I did compile the acpi kernel options, including the userspace
governor for my cpu into the kernel and I am using powernowd to to
manage my CPUs frequency settings.

Basically my tried and true acpi sleep state script hasn't been working
and even when I manually 'echo "mem" > /sys/power/state' the system
doesn't respond at all.

I'm not sure where to start or what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Petros

Man dmesg? Try vanilla kernel? What was last working version?
