suspend no longer works after upgrading something: Samsung N220
Hello,
I was hoping somebody could suggest where to start looking to try to
sort out a problem with my laptop. I have a Samsung N220 which has been
running Debian testing+unstable for over a year now. I have been able
to suspend (not hibernate) usually successfully most of this time.
However, all of a sudden, last week, suspend is no longer "available".
I have upgraded something that has removed this capability.
If I hit the "sleep" button, I get a dialogue box saying "Failed to
suspend [...] Cannot suspend."
Can somebody suggest what might have caused me to lose the suspend
capability?
I am running kernel 2.6.38-2-686.
The acpi related packages, all up to date re: testing, installed on this
system are as follows:

$ dpkg --list '*acpi*'

I am not sure what other packages to look at or whether I need to
configure something differently for acpi. The only options I have with,
for instance, gnome-power-manager, are shutdown and restart.
I see nothing specific in any of the log files, although I must admit
that I am not sure what I should be looking for. For instance, I see
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

in the dmesg output. There are some error messages which I do not
understand:

Any suggestions very welcome indeed!
