I just got a new Thinkpad 310ED (133 MMX). Of course, I quickly took
Windows down to size and installed Linux.
I've installed the pcmcia utilties and got them working without
problems.
But the power management features don't seem to work under Linux, but
they do under Windows 95.
Specifically, the suspend feature (write all memory to disk and shut
off) doesn't work. The LCD will briefly turn off, and then will beep
and turn right back on and cause some hard disk activity for a bit.
I have also tried using apm -s to do a suspend (instead of using the
laptop's hotkey) but that doesn't do any good either.
I suspect this is due to a kernel bug in the APM routines (possibly
related to the oops I reported earlier?), but I don't really know how
to go about diagnosing it.
