Problem sendig IBM Thinkpad T41p to ram

[Erik Tews]

Hi

I would like to suspend my t41p to ram using acpi. But everytime my
system resumes I just got a blank LCD with backlight activated but no
data on it, no matter if I suspend on console or X. Has somebody got an
idea what this problem could be? I tried with and without framebuffer
too, with 2.6.7 vanilla and 2.6.8-rc2 with current acpi-patch.

I have to unload ehci-hcd first, before I was able to send this system
to ram.

The system is still active after resume, I just cannot use it because I
got no picture on my lcd. But I can still enter commands on the keyboard
like ctrl-alt-del or reboot.

Try passing acpi_sleep=s3_bios to the kernel and don't use the
framebuffer.
