I'm trying to use S3 on my Dell X200. I have tried both

echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep
and
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state

It shuts down appropriately (I think), but refuses to come back. Pressing the power button does nothing. Holding the power button down does nothing. In fact, the only way I can use my computer again is to unplug the power and battery, wait 5+ minutes, and then plug it back in.

If I do this with the battery plugged in, usually the battery charging light comes on and stays on.

If I do this in text mode, I can see it print 3 lines and then vanish. The first line looks like it has a bunch of '+' and/or '-'; I have no idea what the other two lines look like.

Something tells me this is a bug in the DSDT, but I honestly have no idea. And debugging is obviously quite difficult. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what I should look for?

My configuration is:

Dell X200 (Pentium M3), with the A09 bios (latest on Dell's website; had the same effect with the older BIOS I was running before)

2.6.0-test9 kernel with Andrew Morton patches (as delivered by Gentoo; includes ACPI 20031002)

ACPI patch for custom DSDT (tried with and without the custom DSDT, same effect)

/proc/acpi/sleep: S0 S3 S4 S5

ACPI is not compiled as a module (duh)
