after dapper->edgy on dell latitude l400: system keeps suspending after 5 secs

[Gavin McCullagh]

Hi,

I'm cc-ing the devel list though I don't know if it'll reach them as I'm
not subscribed.  I think /etc/acpi/sleep.sh might have a bug in it.

I eventually had to go further and pass "noapm noacpi acpi=off apm=off" to
the kernel at boot time (all 4 as I don't know which is the correct one
right now).  Things seem relatively stable now, though of course I'll need
to be careful not to suspend.

Looking further into this, I keep seeing "Suspending computer because the
suspend button has been pressed" in /var/log/syslog.  I'm not as yet clear
what keeps triggering this.
