kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 broke ACPI S3 on thinkpad T42p

[Ed Hill]

Hi folks,

The current FC5 kernel update (2.6.17-1.2139) broke ACPI S3 sleep on my
ThinkPad T42p and I've bugzilla-ed it at:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196835

I've been using ACPI S3 sleep daily (suspend/resume for the commute is
very convenient!) and its worked quite reliably for all the prior FC5
kernels--sometimes 4 and 5 sus/res cycles in a day and the uptimes were
only interrupted by the kernel updates.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?  Does anyone have suggestions
on how to fix or work around it?  For the mean time, I've downgraded to
the last working which is 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5.

Ed
