Well, I don't think this has anything to do with the details of pending
writes. I sincerely hope I'm not using ACPI suspend, since its effects
on this laptop are even worse than the effects on yours: not even the
power button will wake it up again, and I have to pull out the battery
and push it back in before the system will come back up.
For the meantime, I just don't suspend my laptop. It hasn't got any
battery life worth speaking of anyway, unfortunately, and lives on AC
power whenever I can get away with it.
