Subject: APM suspend/resume ceased to work with 2.4.28

Seen on a Dell Inspiron 3800 with BIOS revision A17.

APM suspend/resume works perfectly with 2.4.27 (or at least, as well
as APM can).

Since I did not see any differences in arch/i386/kernel/apm.c between
.27 and .28, I'm at loss to explain the problem.

Phil.

Guess: Are you using ACPI ?

ACPI is compiled in, but the kernel is booted with noacpi...

Phil,

Can you please try 2.4.28-pre3 ?

Lets try to find out where it started to happen. I've got no clue,
there are no indeed no APM related changes in 2.4.28.

The bug was introduced between rc1 and rc2.

I'm still working on it to narrow it down to which delta introduced
the bug.

I suspect either the ACPI or the APIC/DMI changes.
