[Tfug] Help getting new laptop to suspend/hibernate correctly

Hi Everyone,

I am running Debian 6 on a new laptop from ZaReason. So far, 
everything works beautifully on it except hibernate/suspend. I 
have opened a support ticket with them, but while I am waiting 
for them to build a new Chimera to test with, I thought I would 
see if any of you can offer some insight.

Here is what happens when I try to initiate a suspend or 
hibernate from within Gnome (using the Gnome menu option):

1. The screen goes blank.
2. The screen turns off.
3. I see a terminal like window with a blinking cursor. No text 
   is ever displayed to the screen.
4. I see the gnome-screensaver unlock dialog.
5. After unlocking, all my programs are running.


I also tried manually suspending using pm-suspend. Below my sig 
is the content of /var/log/pm-suspend.log. This makes it look 
like it was able to suspend correctly but immediately wakes up.

> Fri Aug 19 15:39:31 PDT 2011: Awake.
> Fri Aug 19 15:39:31 PDT 2011: Running hooks for resume

Anyone have any ideas what I should look at next?
