I did not ever get this in the journal.

In fact, to test the setup, I did a "debootstrap" install of jessie,
followed by installing systemd-sysv, the kernel and kbd. (In other
words, a "bare-bones" install!)

The "showkey" command still recognises the key as giving code "142" but
suspend does not work.

I do not know where the problem lies. Perhaps systemd is relying on the
event driver for the specific key and not the keyboard driver to
generate the specific code (this is just a guess since I don't know much
about this).

I can investigate some more if you let me know what you want
investigated.

Regards,

Kapil.
