Hi all
for some time now, maybe since I updated to Kernel 2.6.23, I experience
power drain during suspend to disk (yes, you read correctly DISK).
I'm using an IBM Thinkpad X30 and the problem is recent. I assume that
its some kernel option keeping the ethernet alive for wake on lan, or
something like that.
Has anyone experienced this, and/or knows kernel options that can be
responsible for that ?
thanks
Thomas

A laptop I assume?!
Are you sure you don't have the same drain when powering off? in my
experience, WOL is always a bios setting - did you look there?
What happens if you suspend to disk, then take the battery out for a few
minutes or more - can you resume? (put it back in of course)

Yes, right.

Yes I'm sure, I disconnect the power after everything shut down
properly. And, it is time dependent. 1 or 2 Percent per hour.

Yes it does come back. I have to see if there it is eating battery after
putting it back in. Probably not, I think just something is not turned
of when going to sleep...

well, AFAIK suspend and poweroff both actually power off the same way,
so I don't understand why this only happens when you suspend. The only
difference I can see is that in one case you unload modules and call
init stop scripts. Perhaps unload the network module or stop a few
scripts before suspending and see what happends.
So, what can drain power while turned off? There's WOL, WOM, and ? Did
you check that these wake up features are turned off in the BIOS?

Hi,
i just wanted to finish this as I found a solution and want it get
archived in the list archive.
If you experience power drain during hibernation check
cat /sys/power/disk
On my machine it was set to "platform", wich means the bios takes care
of everything. After installing a new harddrive into my machine this did
not work anymore and there was a small but noticable power drain during
hibernation.
Setting it to "shutdown" (echo "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk ) solved the
problem for me.
Check
$LINUX_KERNEL/Documentation/power/
for details
