I don't have any problems with my C600 suspending and resuming (2.4.19pre7-ac4). Some of the comments look BIOS-version-specific... why not just upgrade the BIOS? (The comment I saw referred to version A06, but I have A17!) Correct me if I'm missing something here... I didn't read the patch too carefully... ian - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
