4 Hi,

6 i just wanted to finish this as I found a solution and want it get
7 archived in the list archive.

9 If you experience power drain during hibernation check
10 cat /sys/power/disk
11 On my machine it was set to "platform", wich means the bios takes care
12 of everything. After installing a new harddrive into my machine this did
13 not work anymore and there was a small but noticable power drain during
14 hibernation.
15 Setting it to "shutdown" (echo "shutdown" > /sys/power/disk ) solved the
16 problem for me.
17 Check
18 $LINUX_KERNEL/Documentation/power/
19 for details

32 | well, AFAIK suspend and poweroff both actually power off the same way,
33 | so I don't understand why this only happens when you suspend. The only
34 | difference I can see is that in one case you unload modules and call
35 | init stop scripts. Perhaps unload the network module or stop a few
36 | scripts before suspending and see what happends.
37 |
38 | So, what can drain power while turned off? There's WOL, WOM, and ? Did
39 | you check that these wake up features are turned off in the BIOS?

41 | HTH,
