Clueless, yes. Fixed, no.
First of all, Chris Hanson was correct when he stated that the
suspend/resume problem only occurs when the power-on password
is enabled. Maybe no big deal to some, but my situation here
at work requires that I use the password. With the password
enabled, the machine will lock hard more often than not when
attempting to use suspend/resume.
Secondly, this is not 3xx series specific. In fact, I was first
made aware of the problem by one of the 750 users on this mailing
list. To demonstrate this to yourself, try this:
With your PCMCIA card installed and your AC adapter plugged in and
powered-up, start your machine and then initiate hibernation.
Now power your machine back on with the battery removed and see if
it doesn't result in a lockup which requires the sevices of the
reset button in order to recover from.
To be experiencing these problems is one thing; to have IBM just
blow it off as unimportant is another. I had assumed (incorrectly,
I guess) that IBM would stand behind its products. I don't think
it's too much to ask that IBM's products work as advertised.
