I may be wrong, but don't you need ACPI for various power-off states?
'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
@mmmrr According to your check, only freeze (suspend-to-idle) is supported with your setup. Apparently this particular power state is always available. With my setup freeze, standby and mem is stipulated in /sys/power/state. This is as far as I can help you with this.

from menu.lst:
title grub2title grub2
kernel /boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img rdrand=force
from grub.cfg
linux /bionic-rc-a2/vmlinuz pmedia=atahd pdrv=082A-1B73 psubdir=/bionic-rc-a2 pfix=fsck,fsckp TZ=CST6CDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0 acpi=off
acpitool_0.5.1 shows 'already installed' by puppy package manager.
acpi* search in ppm shows ten or so other acpi packages.
on previous toshiba laptops over the years i remember having to
install acpitool_0.5.1 before sleep [suspend] would work.

thanks amethyst

i suppose that the menu.lst entry
and the grub.cfg entry should be the same?
here goes.

changed menu.lst and grub.cfg to acpi=on,
rebooted.
entered 'echo mem > /sys/power/state' in terminal.
display went black.
power switch went from blue to pulsing orange.
waited a few moments.
pressed power switch, display returned, frozen.
held down power switch til shutdown, a moment.
waited a couple of minutes, restarted without issue.

On my laptop, I press the power button for about 3 seconds and then move the mouse slightly to get out of the sleep state. Works every time for me.

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
I meant to say, upload it. Alternatively open them with a text editor and paste giant walls of text. Or use a paste service.

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
okay phoenix
here comes giant wall of text after
restart after freeze.
i will be trying amethyst's method for awakening
computer: 3 sec hold on power button; slight
movement of mouse.
output text too big for posting:
"Your message contains 154361 characters.
The maximum number of allowed characters is 60000."
it looks like i have posted the output at:

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
Have you tried modprobe toshiba_acpi
? Also please re-enable acpi while you're at it.
Otherwise I cannot think of much. I would suggest trying a newer kernel and see if perhaps it is fixed there.

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
hi phoenix
i have been acpi=on for the last two weeks.
is that the same as re-enabling acpi?
i have just 'modprobe toshiba_acpi'
i have a plainer bionic32 on cd , boots, works.
i'll try installing it to a ext2 partition.
this pup i'm trying to suspend is installed
on vfat partition. a well experienced puppian
suggested that the vfat might be problem.
thanks, mm

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
the bionic32 on cd-rw which booted and ran
last week this would not this evening.
the boot process halted when the sfs file could
not be found. i was invited to enter 'debugsave' .
in due course i rebooted to the hard drive, looked
in the partition i'd saved the debug info to. lots of info,
non of it understandable by me.
i'll download a fresh bionic32, start over....mm

Re: 'suspend' malfunctions on bionic32
Filesystem type does not prohibit the ability to enter sleep. Remember, sleep saves in-memory contents of RAM, and makes the general assumption that whatever devices were connected will be connected when the machine wakes up.
