suspend on Thinkpad R60

[tyler <tyler.smith@mail.mcgill.ca>]

Hi,

I'm running Squeeze on a Thinkpad R60. I use Fluxbox, and do most admin
tasks from the command line. Hibernate to disk works fine with 'sudo
hibernate'. However, I can't get suspend to ram to work. 

I've tried s2ram, the Thinkpad hotkey (Fn-F4), 'echo mem >
/sys/power/state', changing hibernate.conf to point to put the sleep
method ahead of the hibernate method (i.e., ram.conf ahead of
suspend2.conf), and s2both, all with the same result: The screen
switches to a text terminal, with messages indicating suspend is
happening. A few seconds later, I'm dropped back into Fluxbox. The
syslog for a typical attempt is pasted below.

Since I'm getting warnings about failing to suspend usb devices, I tried
adding

UnloadAllModules yes
UnloadModules uhci_hcd ehci_hcd

to hibernate.conf, but neither line fixes the problem. Any other
suggestions?

Thanks,

Tyler
