Did read, just wasn't expecting that behavior (noob thing on my part).

Anyways, here's what I get now...

(ttyC0)

# tail -f /var/log/messages &

  (boot remnants)

(ttyC1)

# apmd -d

  (silence)

(ttyC0)

Dec 11 22:34:00 imhotep apmd: battery status: unknown. external power

status: connected. estimated battery live 0%

# apm -S

System will enter standby mode momentarily.  (blink)

# Dec 11 22:35:02 imhotep apmd: system resumed from APM sleep

apm -z

System will enter suspend mode momentarily.  (blink)

# Dec 11 22:35:43 imhotep apmd: system resumed from APM sleep

Seems to me like something is waking it up as soon as it goes into sleep

mode.  Could I have something in the BIOS messed up or otherwise causing

a wake-up signal too early?
