seems not so bad.

Both suspend to ram and suspend to disk via swsusp2 (108) appear to
work fine. I completed a few cycles without problems.

However: If I suspend to ram once and then suspend to disk, resume
From disk works fine, but about 20 seconds to 1 minute later, the
load suddenly jumps to 100% and stays there.

The kacpid process seems to run wild and eat all available time, it
looks like some kind of wild loop, but there is no output. I can
normally shut the machine down -- although it takes a while.

I've tried compiling ACPI as modules and unloading the modules as well
as restarting the acpid before/after suspend to disk. Upon reloading
the modules things hang with "thermal" -- but that seems arbitrary,
the effect still shows up even if no thermal is loaded.

Not sure this helps anyone improve things, still wanted to give you
the feedback, though.

Regards,
Georg
