Hrm... That should work ! Can you send me a tarball of /proc/device-tree
of your machine ?

Suspend-to-ram is "partially" supported. That is, I have code that will
suspend-to-ram and wake up the machine, and I have code that deals even
with doing so on SMP (is your machine SMP ?), but the problem is to
rvive the video card. So it pretty much depends what video card you have
in there... If it's an nvidia, it's hopeless. If it's an ATI, I can
probably make it work, though it might require some time ... What does
lspci says ?
