There are many reports of successful hibernation under Windows on this hardware. The motivation being that S3 drains the battery in <24 hours. (Fewer people hibernate on linux because you only have a 4G SSD, so a swap partition wastes a lot of space, and most installers can't set up swap files). Also it sounds like it would break when the linux kernel mode setting driver is used. I thought kernel mode setting was going to make suspend _more_ reliable :-). So in the long term I think we either need to find a more specific root cause, or implement a PCI quirk for this quirky machine. Thanks Alan
