Hi, I run basically the same tests as intrigeri did with linux-image 2.6.39-2-686-pae (installed in a squeeze system).
single user mode with KMS ========================= 1) boot in single user mode (see [1] for result of `ps aux`) 2) remove unused modules (see [2] for reslut of `lsmod`) 3) `echo freezer > /sys/power/pm_test` ; `echo disk > /sys/power/state` the freeze successes (stuff happens then bash comes back) 4) `echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test` ; `echo disk > /sys/power/state` the screen remains black, power and battery LEDs on, kernel doesn't answer to sysrq single user mode without KMS ============================ 1) boot in single user mode with `radeon.modeset=0` on kernel command line (see [3] for result of `ps aux`) 2) remove unused modules (see [4] for reslut of `lsmod`) 3) `echo freezer > /sys/power/pm_test` ; `echo disk > /sys/power/state` the freeze successes 4) `echo devices > /sys/power/pm_test` ; `echo disk > /sys/power/state` seems to succeed (stuff happens then bash comes back) single user mode with KMS, noapic, nolapic ========================================== Same test with `noapic nolapic` on kernel command line; Same result as "single user mode with KMS" single user mode with KMS, acpi=off =================================== Same test with `acpi=off` on kernel command line; The system doesn't boot, so I can't test Hope it helps, feel free to ask for more tests, K.
