7If you want to trick swsusp/S3 into working, you might want to try:
8
9* go with minimal config, turn off drivers like USB, AGP you don't
10  really need
11
12* turn off APIC and preempt
13
14* use ext2. At least it has working fsck. [If something seems to go
15  wrong, force fsck when you have a chance]
16
17* turn off modules
18
19* use vga text console, shut down X. [If you really want X, you might
20  want to try vesafb later]
21
22* try running as few processes as possible, preferably go to single
23  user mode.
24
25* due to video issues, swsusp should be easier to get working than
26  S3. Try that first.
27
28When you make it work, try to find out what exactly was it that broke
29suspend, and preferably fix that.
