Re: compaq 2110us and suspend to ram

hmm, more confusing.  It seems to only work occassionally.

What seems to happen no matter what is, it does not actually turn off,
apparently, but if I hit an acpi key again, it reboots the computer?
Apparently it's not really shutting off when i think it is.  Any ideas
why hitting an acpi button to resume would "turn the power off," but
not really?
