Hi,

My base system is openSUSE 10.3 however I'm running a vanilla 2.6.24.2 kernel.  I'm running this kernel because:

1) It provides support to hot-swap my battery and DVD drive in my modular bay,
2) When running VirtualBox, I can turn off tickless support (NOHZ=OFF) and suspend-to-disk works.  VirtualBox is less taxing on the CPU when tickless support is switched off.

Using previous versions of the openSUSE 10.3 Linux kernel, I was not able to do the above.  I have not tested with the latest kernel though (2.6.22.17-0.1)

Problem
=======
I wrote a hook script which resides in /etc/pm/power.d.  This script works well when using the stock openSUSE kernels.  If I use 2.6.24.2, the script is no longer called when I switch from AC to Battery and vice versa.

I realize the answer may be, hey, you're on your own.  You're on 2.6.24.2!!!  I was hoping there's something I could do so to make pm-utils work.  Cheers!

Hardware
