Well, FWIW, I've noticed that suspect is failing for me now and I know it used to work. As it happens, on my 512M laptop, a suspend to disk takes longer than shutdown/reboot sequence, though, so I very rarely use this feature, so I'm not sure quite when or why it broke. My is set up only to suspend to memory and it used to be ok; now it actualy suspends ok but it crashes quite regularly upon resume. Dell Inspiron 8000. I frankly doubt that this is connected to your case, though--as it as it may sounds I know that mine was working the last time I did a kernel update (which was when I applied the 2nd ATA hot-swap fixes, and I specifically tested suspend. It seems to be somehow connected to some user-level program I've started running since then, but I haven't figure out what yet. It is very tiresome testing this since after it crashes it has to re-fsck my 67G worth of HD space . . .
