I believe the manual for the 360 says that that PCMCIA device
may not be recognized following return from suspend/hibernation. It is
then suggested that the card be removed/replaced to resume normal
operation.
I'm not sure the manual implies that complete system
lockup is normal behavior, but I have to admit that this issue
isn't directly addressed. It just seems strange to me that IBM
would consider a system hang as "normal behavior". In fact, behavior
which requires a reboot after attempting to resume or "un-hibernate"
seems to defeat the purpose of the suspend/hibernate function
altogether.
I don't know about IBM, but I most definitely do NOT
consider this normal behavior...........
