ACPI and CDROM problems
I have an inspiron 6400 (running SuSE 10.0), using kernel 2.6.18 (unmodified) together with harddisk suspend. This laptop showed severe problems at resuming with 2.6.17 (about 1 out of 5 resumes failed). Now, with 2.6.18, about 1 out of 30 doesn't work.
It takes about 20 seconds, then a normal reboot happens.
Before sending various configuration and log data I wonder what I shall specifically do to improve debugging so that you get meaningful data in case it is a new problem (I searched the archive but doesn't found something relevant). In particular, which debugging flags shall I activate -- if I enable all of them, my `/var/log/messages' file increases by about 100k per second... And the default settings doesn't show anything suspicious.

I assume this is the suspend to RAM that doesn't work? Have you tried using swsusp (suspend to disk)?

I have never tried suspend to RAM. I only use suspend to disk.

No, and I'm too lazy to try that. I'm writing to this list so that I can help in fixing problems. For example, I could compile and run a newer kernel in case this is of benefit. As mentioned before, I just need advice which kind of data, setup, etc., you need so that I produce valuable information.
