Comment 47 for bug 990129

Just to add some more information - This is not just limited to Suspending.

If I perform a Suspend once, my laptop will also not power off correctly - It will go through the power down sequence, and then hang when the shutdown terminal displays "Powering Off", and will sit there forever until I manually power down the system.

So, this means that I'm able to suspend successfully once, and then unable to perform any other ACPI functions without having to manually power off and power on my laptop using the hardware buttons.

Can the rest of you confirm whether you are able to successfully power off after performing one suspend?

Knowing that this issue is not limited to the suspend function broadens the scope, and also may help pin down what the issue is.
