I also get this bug on an Intel P915GM chipset laptop with a Celeron M processor. For all intents and purposes the suspends seems to work fine - everything shuts down and the power led starts blinking, indicating the computer is sleeping, and when I resume the battery isn't drained more than expected. From syslog, edited for brevity, full log attached: Jun 10 01:15:46 molotov gnome-power-manager: (nino) Suspending computer because the DBUS method Suspend() was invoked -- snipped messages from network interfaces going down, DHCP releases etc -- Jun 10 01:15:59 molotov kernel: [ 2687.540000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:02:00.0 disabled Jun 10 01:15:59 molotov kernel: [ 2687.664000] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:06:02.0 disabled Jun 10 08:02:14 molotov gnome-power-manager: (nino) An unknown error occured code='32' quark='g-exec-error-quark' Jun 10 08:02:14 molotov gnome-power-manager: (nino) Resuming computer Jun 10 08:02:14 molotov gnome-power-manager: (nino) suspend failed Jun 10 08:02:14 molotov kernel: [ 2690.256000] PM: Preparing system for mem sleep Jun 10 08:02:14 molotov kernel: [ 2690.256000] Disabling non-boot CPUs ...

I'm not sure how the kernel is supposed to act when suspending - is it normal that messages from the suspension are logged after the computer resumes? Mariano Draghi : I don't think your bug #112659 is a dup of this one - our computers suspend and stay suspended, we just get a spurious error message.
