Can you be more specific?

The userspace is standard Debian; or maybe even init=/bin/bash. I want
to sleep the machine before I move, so I do echo mem >
/sys/power/state, as I do on PC.

Then I do plug the machine into AC when I move near outlet. In PC,
embedded controller wakes up and starts charging. In Zaurus, it is
kernel (SPI+charging drivers) that wake up, start charging, and go
back to sleep.

Then I (the user) press the power button and get "bash#" back. Where
is the userspace bug?
