The current FC5 kernel update (2.6.17-1.2139) broke ACPI S3 sleep on my

Works fine on my T41. In your bug report, you describe some kernel
parameters. I don't have any of them in my grub.conf.
I should say, "Works fine modulo Radeon power consumption." That has to
be handled specially. But if it wasn't a problem in the previous kernel,
I doubt it's suddenly the problem here.
Hi Matthew,
Thank you for the response! I've tried all of the suggestions here and
in the bugzilla report (leaving off the kernel parameters, adding the
option to xorg.conf, etc.) all to no avail. So, may I ask a few
questions?
- are you using the ATI fglrx package [which, btw, is nicely
packaged by livna] ?
I use the xorg drivers. The kernel radeonfb module is needed to control
the power probem, and I don't think the fglrx driver supports that.
- which radeon card are you using?
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7
LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]
- are you by any chance using the ipw2200 (2915ABG) adapter?
ipw2200. I'm using the latest drivers though, as described at
www.ces.clemson.edu/linux.
I'm starting to suspect the above although I'm seeing some very flaky
behavior where the 2.6.17-1.2139 kernel fails to complete even some of
the earliest boot stages -- and I'm having *none* of these problems with
older kernels. I wonder whats going wrong...?
