    Hi all,

    I'm wondering for several test-releases now, that apm seems not to be
    working properly anymore for me.
    my machine:
    DELL Inspiron 4000
    BIOS A23

    When i try to suspend to memory, the screen gets scrambled (looks like
    a funny-color-shifted low-res dump from the vga-memory) and stays like
    that for a minute or so, then the machine resumes like nothing happened.

    only a line in the log, which is from the harddisk, shows that the
    machine tried to go to bed.

    Nov 21 12:06:45 [kernel] hda: Wakeup request inited, waiting for !BSY...

    I had apm running quite fine with 2.4.21 and made the same apm settings
    in the new kernel:

    #
    # Power management options (ACPI, APM)
    #
    CONFIG_PM=y
    # CONFIG_SOFTWARE_SUSPEND is not set
    # CONFIG_PM_DISK is not set

    #
    # ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support
    #
    # CONFIG_ACPI is not set

    #
    # APM (Advanced Power Management) BIOS Support
    #
    CONFIG_APM=y
    CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND=y
    CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
    # CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE is not set
    CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK=y
    CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT=y
    CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS=y
    CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF=y

    #
    # CPU Frequency scaling
    #
    # CONFIG_CPU_FREQ is not set

    any help is appreciated!
