Hi Lou,

If your T43 is very new like mine is, it's probably using a PATA drive
with an SATA bridge and it appears as SATA to the system. No current
kernel has support to actually wake the drive up, thanks to the bridge.
As far as I know.

I get this info from:

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#Failed_resume_from_suspend_to_disk

I have tried the suggestions myself, to no avail. My understanding is
that this is a work in progress. This is what we get for having such new
hardware ;)
