[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#548259: base: PowerBook G3 Pismo intermittently fails to sleep

[Solra Bizna]

Package: base
Severity: important

I'm on a PowerBook G3 Pismo. A while back, it was running Gentoo and 
slept fine. Then, I switched from sysvinit to initng, and it failed to 
sleep every single time. Now, after switching to Debian, it successfully 
sleeps 90% of the time, hangs 9% of the time, and spews debugging 
information and re-awakens 1% of the time. (When the lattermost happens 
once, it becomes the only outcome of an attempted sleep that will happen 
until I restart.)

Example (long) output from the 1% case:

Also, media-bay is unkillable.

I'll keep the computer in the 1% case (without restarting), just in case 
I can gather any more useful information.
