I've done further Google research. Many other people have had similar problems over the past few years & the only regular suggestion is that there's a problem with ECHI etc : I haven't tried following that up, as it's not recent. I tested Mint 17.2 Xfce , which I have installed in another partition & which is very quick'n'slick : suspend has the same effect as with Gentoo. I've tried changing a few BIOS settings with no apparent effect, but -- mysteriously -- Gentoo (but not Mint) is now actually suspending, but doesn't wake up when the power button or a key is pressed, as it should ; I can power off & restart normally afterwards. 'dmesg' + 'syslog' simply show an immediate restart after the suspend. The result of all this is that I can't suspend to RAM & restart later : that merely means that I have to repopulate my workspaces after each reboot, but that's something I know by rote & can easily live with. However, the one good + surprising outcome concerns the I/net. Getting back in touch with my ISP can be slow + unpredictable, tho' it always works after a few tries, which involve powering everything off. However, I've discovered that if I don't switch off the router, 'dhcpcd' simply reconnects after a reboot (in Mint too) & the I/net is immediately available : that's what I really care about. So I can power the machine off while I'm asleep or out iff I don't switch off the power-bar which also feeds the router. If anyone has further thoughts on this subject, they mb of more general interest, but for now I can carry on. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
