34 Well, i did what you told me and compiled swsusp in the kernel and
35 made an usbcore module. S5 works just fine but
36 with S3 it goes down as it should but it doesn't come
37 back up. The screen stays black but i hear my hard disk
38 come up again. I tried with EnableVbetool and VbetoolPost
39 enable but it didn't help.
40 Did you changed anytime in ram.conf ?
