I am hopeful that we can find a more robust solution to the problem. This is an admittedly sloppy (and hopefully temporary) workaround that just saves me the trouble of commenting out those three whole lines of code in future kernels. :) > Unfortunately, while this lets me receive PWRB notifications, it doesn't > solve the lockup on suspend. Ugh. > Ah, drat. For what it's worth, I have similar issues with suspend, though I haven't tried suspending to RAM for a while, which was when I saw the behavior you describe. I have been able to suspend to disk from a console, and others have reported doing so from unaccelerated X. I've never managed to resume successfully from X, however.
