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