My Acer Aspire One, with the kernels known in Gentoo as 2.6.35-gentoo-r4 or 2.6.35-gentoo-r12, hangs on resume from suspend to disc - after counting up to 100% and printing the message "Suspending consoles (use no_console_suspend" to debug)".
We can add 2.6.36-gentoo-r5 to the list of affected kernels. What's more, the problem has become more urgent, because the combination of a recent xorg upgrade and kernel bug #13811 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13811 is forcing me to upgrade from the unaffected 2.6.34 kernel.
I've investigated a little more.
The good news is that I can get reliable resuming by using the "nomodeset" boot parameter to disable kernel mode setting (so perhaps kernel bug #13811 is not as "fixed" as we'd like to think?)
The bad news is that this is not a useful workaround, because the version of the xf86 Intel video driver that has recently been marked stable in Gentoo refuses to work without kernel mode setting. And I can't just downgrade the video driver, because it's so thoroughly integrated with the rest of Xorg. Any ideas, please?
