HI everyone. So I finally succeeded in getting my laptop to hibernate successfully. PHEW! I followed the Gentoo HOWTO, and everything works great... well, almost everything. For some reason, everytime I wake the computer back up it immediately runs the Hibernate script again somehow, and goes right back to sleep. Thankfully this only happens once everytime, so I don't have a loop going. It's almost as if it's getting two hibernate orders when I press the hibernate function key on my keyboard, one of which gets carried over into the next time it wakes up. I'm not sure what would be causing this, but any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Incidentally I'm running Gentoo on an ASUS 2400A with asus-acpi installed, and asus extras compiled as modules. "uname -a" yields "Linux Schoenberg 2.6.15-suspend2-r4 #2 PREEMPT Sun Feb 12 09:46:54 EST 2006 i686 Intel (R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 1200MHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux"

Thanks.

Look this "Dealing with double button events

It looks like acpi is intrepreting two consecutive suspend-resume cycles everytime...
