Re: ACPI sleep issues on a Lattitude D500 (gentoo-dev-2.6.2)

I upgraded to 2.6.3 and got more strangeness.  I don't think the "/bin/sh: line 30: `start-single-daemon': not a valid identifier" means much anymore... but hey, I'm just guessing here.

With the 2.6.3 kernel I moved my /var/log/acpid to /var/log/acpid.old, put back in the sleep command for when I shut the lid, and then tried it out again.

The laptop went down in to sleep mode again, and once again wouldn't come back up.  So I hard powered it down and back on again.  Checked the acpid log file and noticed the "start-single-daemon" error wasn't there this time.

I noticed in an "ls -al" that the acpid.old file was now 5 times the size it was before.  I opened it up and it has, what appears to be, random text from from scripts in my /etc/init.d directory... some binary data, and who knows what else...

I am positive this file was just the normal acpid log file before I put the laptop to S1.  And now that I think about it, I ran in to weirdness before like this when I was trying to get S1 to work.  My /etc/modules.conf file got corrupted twice, my .viminfo file was corrupted a couple times, some important files in my .gnome and .metacity...  All after I tried to put the laptop in to S1.

Symptom of the acpi problem?  Or files getting corrupted from my laptop forcibly being shutdown?

Thanks-

Hello,

If I stick:

    echo -n "1" > /proc/acpi/sleep

To be called when my lid is closed bad things happen.

It seems to go to sleep just fine, but when I try to bring it out of sleep mode (by opening the lid and pressing power) things don't go fine. It outputs "Back to C!" followed by some things about the ide stuff coming back up and then does nothing. I have to hold the power button until it shuts off and then turn it back on to get it to respond again.

Then, when I check my /var/log/acpid.log file, I see this in it happening in between the start and stop markings of the lid button actions being called:

    /bin/sh: line 30: `start-single-daemon': not a valid identifier

Is that some perl script trying to be ran with /bin/sh as the interpreter? Could this be a cause of my hung system on power restore?

If I don't put the machine to sleep when the lid button is closed, just do other things like spin down the hard drive (hdparm -y /dev/hda), then nothing bad happens and there is no strange /bin/sh error in the acpid log file.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... All I found on google was the /bin/sh error being caused by a perl script being ran with /bin/sh as the interpreter instead of perl... but it was for a completely unrelated problem (not even ACPI related).

Thanks-
Ryan
