Hello!

I quote this from the output of the dmesg command:

[    0.496724] ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT
[    0.496909] ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored
[    0.496912] ACPI: DMI System Vendor: Dell Inc.
[    0.496915] ACPI: DMI Product Name: Latitude E4300
[    0.496918] ACPI: DMI Product Version:
[    0.496920] ACPI: DMI Board Name: 0MR506
[    0.496922] ACPI: DMI BIOS Vendor: Dell Inc.
[    0.496924] ACPI: DMI BIOS Date: 10/10/2008
[    0.496927] ACPI: Please send DMI info above to [email protected]
[    0.496930] ACPI: If "acpi_osi=Linux" works better, please notify [email protected]

The kernel option acpi_osi=Linux works better for me. When I use it, I can use suspend to ram without complications. Without this kernel option the computer freezes after awaking.

More informations about my Linux system:

uname -a:
Linux latitude 2.6.27-9-generic #1 SMP Thu Nov 20 22:15:32 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

/etc/issue:
Ubuntu 8.10

Other kernel options:
i8042.reset vga=0x0362

Regards from Germany

Update hal-info and pm-utils and it should work without the boot option.
