[ltp] Suspend to disk on T60 (2623D6U)

[Aaron Mulder]

I have openSUSE 10.2 on a T60 Core 2 Duo, and suspend to RAM works but
suspend to disk does not (with different symptoms depending on whether
you set it to use kernel or userspace hibernate).  I previously used a
T60 Core Duo with SuSE 10.1 and suspend to disk worked on that -- so
I'm not sure if it's the newer hardware or newer OS that's the
problem.  I did notice that one of the methods complained that the
airprime driver could not suspend, so I added it to the list of
modules to unload, but that didn't help.

I'm not sure what to say about the USB problem with suspend to RAM.
The only USB devices I use are the Verizon card and fingerprint
reader, and both of those work after a suspend to RAM and resume.  I
haven't tried with a mouse or flash stick connected.

Thanks,
      Aaron
