No where practical to capture them to.
I don't know if the machine was entirely dead,
or just the console at that point.

I don't have the XX days necessary for git-bisect right now.
But if there were some likely candidates, I could probably try a couple.
Mostly I just wanted to give a heads-up that all is not well with 2.6.25
for now, and I'll get round to debugging it when I have time to do so.

I haven't yet tried -rc7 on my *other* dissimilar notebook,
but back at -rc2 it also had serious issues with suspend/resume not working.
This is my first look at 2.6.25 (on notebooks) since then.
