Bug Description
When trying to suspend my Asus A7Jc laptop, the computer shuts down LAN, WLAN, hard drive etc. However the monitor is still on with a console cursor blinking, power led is still on (i.e. not blinking as in successful suspend) and the fans go very fast as in 100% cpu utilization. At this state, I am forced to shut it off by pressing the power button for 5 seconds.
This happens everytime with Kicker -> Shutdown -> Suspend or running the command pm-suspend. I have tried booting with init=/bin/bash, but it's the same.
Also, Windows XP have problems with suspend when I use an ATK driver (can't remember the name, but it handles ACPI) from Windows Update. In Windows, the suspend failure here results sometimes in a BSOD or just a freeze similar to the one mentioned above. The ATK driver from ASUS works just fine.
