For the past week, I've been trying to keep with the latest -rc*-git*
releases of 2.6.16 on my notebook, and something new in those is
impacting resume-from-RAM.
It works most of the time, but *rarely* when suspended for more
than a few hours (like overnight). Which makes testing somewhat
challenging, as this is also my main work machine.
Black screen on resume, no response to alt-sysrq-b,
and no convenient serial port in the machine.
Works 100% with 2.6.15 kernels.
If I can figure out anything more that's useful, I'll do so,
but that's all I know about it right now.
Debugging resume on a "legacy free" notebook is not fun.

It's awful, isn't it? git-bisct is the best bet, but at one bisection
point per day it could get a bit dull.

Mmm.. working 100% now with Randy Dunlop's ACPI additions from here:
http://www.xenotime.net/linux/SATA/2.6.16-rc3/
Note that these are the latest evolution from a simpler patch by Jens
which I first started using in *spring 2005* to get suspend/resume working.
Are we *ever* going to add these to mainstream?
It's been almost a friggin' year!
Cheers

Yes, I understand (I think). Fortunately I haven't been working
on it quite that long.
I'm updating the patchset to 2.6.16-rc4 and then I'll post it,
probably tomorrow.
