[ltp] T42p + acpi + suspend

[Jacek Wuwer]

Thank you for sharing this experience. I have made some 
progress since yesterday, although the major problem still 
persists. 
 
I have downloaded a plain 2.6.10 from kernel.org applied 
(cleanly) acpi patches and installed it.  
The good thing is that hibernate script now works. Both on 
battery and AC. The suspend to RAM still produces the error 
 
hda: task_out_intr: status=0x51 {DriveReady SeekComplete Error}  
     task_out_intr: error=0x04 {Drive Status Error}  
 
regarless whether using the hibernate script and configuration 
(modofied to use S3) or mine. I have seen this problem while 
googling for it, even with releatively recent kernels (2.6.11), 
but failed to find either a solution or explanation ... 
I will stay with S4 then - whcih is actually much more 
important for me. 
To switch the LCD on and off I have compiled radeontool from 
http://fdd.com/software/radeon/ 
 
I guess I have missed the --added-patches switch to make-kpkg. 
I can stay with plain kernel for a while though. 
 
What video driver are you using ? 
Is there any reason you are using inird ?  
 
Again thanks for help - we can try to diff our .config files. 
Can you send me yours (to private e-mail) ?
