Finally got a chance to try it - the opensuse kernel 2.6.16-8 has working
suspend/resume to disk using the SMP kernel and default kernel config.
This was using low-level "echo disk > /sys/power/state" with the kernel
swsuspend system, and no other SUSE tools involved (I ran this on my
Debian system). Aaron, thanks again for the tip, this at least makes the
T60 road-worthy :-)

Here's the kernel I used:

http://mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/distribution/SL-OSS-factory/inst-source/suse/src/kernel-source-2.6.16-8.src.rpm

I can confirm that suspend to RAM isn't working, it has the same issue as
the other kernels I tried that the SATA disk or driver don't power up
properly.
