I guess different necessities for the same solution.  Charles' patch
seems to work on (some) TP600x models, too, but did not work for me.  My
patch works for me (I also have a 2645-4A0) and at least for one other
person, who also posted it on comp.os.linux.laptop.  But my patch does
not seem to help on non 600e models.

Both patches deal with subtle controller issues.  Charles patch shuts
off a timer, my patch shuts off the floppy controller.  The bios seems
to monitor these controllers and inhibits a suspend if they are active.

Does the patch work for you?

That's no excuse! ;)

You might try to use gnome without esd.  If you just listen to music
there's basically no difference... (you also don't hear those annoying
sound events anymore ;)

As to the loading of the thinkpad modules during boot, there should be
some clues in the logs.  Also, before issuing /etc/init.d/apimiser, do a
"lsmod" and look out for thinkpad related modules...
