Hi Robert

I don't use debianized kernel sources here at all.  Running debian
unstable with a self-compiled kernel from www.kernel.org.  I did apply
the latest acpi patch from acpi.sf.net which now allows my T23 to
suspend correctly without AIEE messages when it comes back.

I tried one time repeatedly and cannot get the core patch to apply
correctly even on a newly untarred kernel source.  I wonder if it has
to do with the acpi patch??

I guess on the good side I can now shut things down without interrupt
handler kernel panics.  Even in X; which is an added benefit.  I sure
would like to get software suspend working too just to check it out.
