More on Reboot on Resume (was problem with Suspending)

[J.H.]

Hey,

This is what I have been able to find / figure out on the problem of a
reboot occuring after the system tries to resume from an apm -s.

Upon resume with a 2.6.x kernel you get two possible outcomes:
1) the system just sits there but powered on instead of suspended
(nothing responds, but the hard drive spins, pcmcia cards are powered,
etc)
2) a reboot happens

on the latter the reboot seems to happen AFTER the system is back into a
running state (if you apm -s from a pure console window, no X on the
screen at all) the console window becomes momentarily visable, and THEN
reboots.  Until recently I was able to circumvent this with a re-
compiled redhat 7.3 2.4.18 kernel (it's bailing on init now) but on THAT
the system suspended and resumed just fine.  This might be a kernel
level problem as well as a vanilla 2.4.2-mm1 kernel does the same thing
as 1) above.

Anyone have ANY ideas on how to rectify this, this is really starting to
annoy me :-(
