(the same hardware)
On 2.6.38.3 xenlinux kernel after resume there is screen content from before
suspend, power led light constantly (as it should), but system is
irresponsible (no capslock led, no reaction to sysrq, network etc).
On 3.x with your patches system goes into S3, but on resume is even worse - no
screen content at all (and no backlight) and also irresponsible, power led
still blinking. As 3.x tried:
 - your devel/acpi-s3.v7 branch directly
 - 3.2.7 merged with devel/acpi-s3.v7
 - 3.3-rc4 with devel/acpi-s3.v7
 - your devel/acpi-s3.v8 branch directly
The same result on all above.

How can I debug this issue?
