[ltp] X30 + 2.6.13 + APM == broken suspend/resume... help?

[Karl Klashinsky]

Note, my X30 is one of the earlier models, with an i830 graphics chip
(i.e., no radeon chipset in this one).

I'm sure I'm not running ACPI... I disabled ACPI during the kernel
build, and there is no /proc/acpi after boot.

The suspend works fine, box goes nicely to sleep (fans, disk, screen,
etc, all power down), then my little "moon" light comes on.

The resume starts out ok, the screen comes back to life, disk spins up,
screen gets redrawn... then it freezes.  No response to keyboard, etc. 
I've let it sit for up to 30mins to be sure it wasn't just a
hiccup/pause.   Only recourse is the "hold power button for 10 secs"
ploy.

The odd part is that swsusp (suspend to swap disk) works just fine. 
Also odd is that basic suspend/resume has worked fine in every other
kernel I've used on this machine, incl. my most recent kernel, 2.6.12.3.

I've also tried switching to the text console and initiating the suspend
manually via "apm --suspend", then watching what happens on resume
(i.e., watching the "dmesg" style diag's about which devices are being
restarted, etc).

On resume, I only see one "set" of those diag's, the ones for my
graphics card, before things lock up.  That hints to me that the freeze
is happening either right at the end of initializing the graphics card,
or as it starts to initialize the next device.

Any clues?
