so try different kernel versions. Start with 3.0.3 and then go down - one |
| 11 |
kernel per release (not all those stable releases in between) should be |
| 12 |
enough. Then, as soon as it starts working again, you can narrow it down. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Use vanilla kernels for this. |

Second, enable wake on lan - if your machine hangs while suspending, try to |
| 17 |
kick it back to life with a wol-packet. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Third point, there are some checks and self tests among the kernel debug |
| 20 |
options related to suspending, enable them. |

For me, 3.0.1 is the first kernel ever that made it possible for me to |
| 24 |
suspend-to-ram (with fglrx even). Suspending is a bitch, breaking and |
| 25 |
unbreaking on an irregular basis thanks to crappy bios'. |
