I have a Lenovo T60 running FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE. Pretty much everything is fine except suspend/resume, which doesn't work at all.

hw.acpi.supported_sleep_state shows S3 S4 and S5 as supported sleep states, but "acpiconf -s 3" instantly causes a hard lockup for which the only recovery seems to be pulling the battery. Given this, mucking around with any other things seems pointless, but I'm happy to try anything.

Are there any possibilities for getting suspend/resume to work on this, or am I doomed to have what is in effect a portable desktop computer? For some reason I thought I had looked into this before I got the machine--I never would have bought it if I had known it didn't work--but in retrospect I'm not sure what gave me the idea it did work.

Thanks.

If I recall correctly the problem is that suspend/resume doesn't work with the dual cores in the latest IBM notebooks. There were attempts on getting it working on a IBM X60 on FreeBSD-7.0-CURRENT some time ago, a quick google found me this on it: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-mobile/2006-November/009326.html I'm not sure on the status of that project at this time, but you might find more information by browsing the current archives

Good luck,
