Tyan is going to look into it based them being able to use a common Linux
system (Knoppix 5.1.1) that fails to resume for me.

I've tried Windows XP 64-bit SP2C, that will only go to S1.
Vista Ultimate 64-bit will only go to S1 too.

I've yet to try a BSD, but it'll be a couple of weeks before I can do
that.
