Update:
echo -n mem >/sys/power/state halts the server, no reaction to anything at all. (PSU, CPU Fan still running, Lan Down, No wakeup on WOL, no Wakeup on Power button) Meanwile I got WOL working, but S3 is still not working .. :-(
I found something yesterday night: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acpid
echo -n mem > /sys/power/state
seems somehow to stop the server. It stopped responding, but lights did not switch off. I was not able verify yesterday if the server died or went to S3, as WOL was not working. But this seems to be a MoBo issue with my asus a7n8.
Will report further results next days.
Hi,
I am stucked witch ACPI S3 on Beta 5.10. (browsed now for hours the forum)
I have understood that
echo -n 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep is not working anymore in 5.xx
s2ram is not working starting beta4 as commented by Joe L. Both packages are not available in unmeu 1.5 anymore
echo -n mem >/sys/power/state stops the server working
My mo-board is supporting S3 (by logfile).
So: what is the actual method to set the server in S3 in 5.10b mode? If any tools needed, where to get them?
Thanks for support
