Remember to unmute and turn up the volume for main, pcm and aux (IIRC).

Does your laptop wake up with an error message something like 20 secs
after the suspend trial?  Then you have the same problem that a number
of people had.  For me the attached patch works.  Assuming
/usr/src/linux is your current linux-2.6.1 tree, save the patch and try
the following:

 cd /usr/src/linx
 cat ~/2.6.1-rc1_tp600e-suspend_outb.patch | patch -p1

After recompiling, suspend should work.  This is a trivial patch, that
just reinserts 3 lines of code that have been dropped in the
development series.

Please send me your ThinkPad model number, regardless of whether it
works or not.  I'm preparing a patch that uses the dmi-blacklist
framework in order to this operation (writes a byte to the floppy
controller) only on selected models.

Well, this is your chance to show off your kernel developer skillz... :)

I didn't think of this one, too, although I ran into a similar problem.
Seems to be a matter of adjusting your mind to new, never-heard-of
locations in the /etc directory...
