Thanks.  It looks like a useful resource, but after many reboots and
much frustration, I still can't figure out what's going on.

Following the suggestions from this page:

http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/quirk/quirk-suspend-advanced.html

I built a kernel with POWER_TRACE enabled, but I don't get the sort of
output described there.  I only get one match for 'grep "hash
matches"', to somewhere in power/main.c, not resume.c, and no 'device'
matches.  Using this feature is extremely frustrating, since it
overwrites the rtc clock, which plays havoc with the fsck records.

I've done a lot of trial and error, and it seems that even with a full
system loaded, when it's brought up in single-user mode, it
suspends/resumes fine, but if I then hit CTRL-D to enter normal mode
and then suspend, resume will then fail.  The module list seems to be
more or less identical.  I've tried removing and blacklisting many
modules that I thought might be causing the problem, but I couldn't
find anything that seemed to make a difference.  I don't have infinite
time or patience for the sort of testing that requires repeated
reboots, so unless anyone has any more suggestions, I'll have to give
up once again.
