Hello,

I have a x86 m/c with Apollo Pro 133A chipset.

With 2.6.0-test11, the supported states are S0, S1 and S5 (according to /proc/acpi/sleep).

Does this mean that I can't ever do suspend to RAM or DISK given that there is no BIOS update available for this. The BIOS used is Phoenix bios version 03AV.20001005. I have to use acpi=force to get ACPI running.

Strangely /sys/power/state says standby, mem and disk are supported however nothing happens if I write mem to /sys/power/state.

Please let me know if anyone knows about this chipset.

Regards,
Bharata.

Suspend to disk using swsusp does not require BIOS support, it does not even reqire ACPI at all, so it should just work. (More or less, it's not 100% reliable yet but pretty usable on most machines.)

Greetings,

Gunter
