ACER TravelMate212 does not resume

hi all,

I'm stuck in a problem with the advanced power management on my laptop
(ACER TravelMate 212TX) running 4.5-STABLE, and no archive nor friends nor
manual could solve it by now. Therefor I would greatly appreciate any help
or hint from you! (many thanx in advance!)


  my problem: the machine does not resume from suspend/stand-by.

I can shutdown to suspend or stand-by perfectly well, everything looks fine
- but once done so it does not wake up anymore, no matter what I do. nothing
but a hardreset helps, and this is quite anoying.

besides that apm works (e.g. shows batt-status) and the rest does so as
well (no unsolveable hardware- or config-problems by now).

I tried several things previous to suspending like switching to console,
killing X, disabling moused, unplugging any pccards but nothing changed the
behaviour.

to my eyes /var/log/messages does not show anything helpful, i.e. it shows
nothing unusual: after "syncing disks" there's only the reboot-messages.

I considered a BIOS-problem as well, but for this is a field I'm not
familiar with I didn't take any steps (and the more because ACER provides no
support for unix).


I'd love any hints.
has anybody an idea for me?


regards,
	Pablo



I attached my apmd.conf,
dmesg follows here...
