Well, it seems that the SMP kernel has a bug that does not let the computer go to sleep. It is strange since SMP needs ACPI to work.
I installed the plain kernel from FC3, same version as SMP kernel, but the one without SMP and the computer recognizes the command echo mem > /sys/power/state and goes to sleep.
Unfortunately, my processor has hyper-threading so without SMP in the kernel I loose all those capabilities. Where do I report this problem with the SMP-kernel?
bugzilla.redhat.org to get the Fedora team tracking it. Also check bugzilla.kernel.org to see if it is already being worked on upstream.
Thanks, egcp
