Hi,

On my laptop whenever I suspend it, it still seems to consume a lot of battery 
and after about 4 hours the battery is complely drained.  This doesn't happen 
in Windows, and doesn't happen when I disable ACPI and let the hardware 
control it.  It seems that something it's shutoff when it is suspended by 
ACPI.  Anyone have any suggestions?  My dmesg and acpidump are attached.  I 
can hear the hard disks shutoff and the screen turn off, so it doesn't seem 
to be that.  I think it might have something to do with the CPU throttling 
and the fact that I'm running a Transmeta Crusoe 5800 and it's not getting 
turned off?  This is just a wild guess and is probably wrong.  Thanks for any 
help.
