I'll raise the question to the next level....
Has there been any discussion of putting any power management support into the LinuxBIOS. I've got a possible need for some basics, like suspend to RAM. Classic APM might be enough and simple to implement. ACPI would be a good choice, but I'm not sure about how much ROM foot print would be needed.

Hello Ron,
Sorry for this unsolicited mail, but I am tempted to request you to get me this moderator approval so that this mail (see forwarded note) makes it to the list. This mail of mine has been sitting with the moderator for many days.
I am assuming that you are the moderator, if not excuse me.
Regards, Bharata.

Hello,
I see from the archives that there was some talk about extracting ACPI tables from BIOS and implementing ACPI support in LinuxBIOS.
I would like to know, if there have been any attempts in this regard from anyone ?
Do you feel that this idea is still feasible ? Or should I assume that this is a dead idea as I see no mention about ACPI power management here since last year ?
Kindly CC your replies. Thanks for your time.
Regards, Bharata.
