Hello.

I've several PCs here which are able to wakeup -
among others - from PS/2 and/or USB keyboard.
Here for testing I'm using PS/2 keyboard and
Asus M3A78-EM motherboard.

When I do poweroff from linux, the keyboard
stays powered up as it should (according to
the BIOS settings). But when I do suspend,
keyboard is NOT powered anymore, and hence
the system can't be woken up from it but only
by using the power button.

This happens consistently for many kernel
versions. To be fair, I don't even know if
there was any kernel which does not show this
behaviour: old versions was unable to do
suspend/resume cycle on this platform at all.

Any hints for this please?

With USB, I think keyboard wake-up is off by default as it causes some
systems to wake up immediately after suspending. Alan and Oliver can provide
more info about that.

Actually I wasn't able to get any machine to resume based on
USB devices - notable keyboard, be it sleep/power button (on
the keyboards that have it) or any other combination of keys
configured in the BIOS. Most motherboards I tried are from
Asus, one or two from Gigabyte and one more from Biostar.

That's why I use PS/2=>USB adaptor, to connect an USB keyboard
to a PS/2 port - this one works just fine, with all the mobos
I tried (provided the appropriate BIOS settings are turned on
and ever exists, to start with).

I don't know about PS/2.

Can you post the contents of /proc/acpi/wakeup from one of these systems,
please?

Hm. That's.. curious. Here we go, my home machine whihc I turn
on every day from a PS/2-connected keyboard:

It's all disabled! But I *know* it wakes up
from network and from ps/2 keyboard at least!
In the corresponding BIOS menu almost everything
is enabled (excluding RTC alarm, but including
USB events). This is an Asus motherboard, M3A-78EM,
with latest BIOS.

Here's another one, Gigabyte's GA-MA74GM-S2H,
which definitely wakes on network:

Device S-state Status Sysfs node

hmm. Blaming BIOS, as usual? :)

But even if that's the case, why there's a difference
between "just" power-off and power-off when suspending?

The kernel is 2.6.31 vanilla.

Thanks!
