Hi!

> I have a machine x86 arch with no serial port, only console. I have a suspend/resume (mem, not hibernate) problem (not sure which one it is, if something fails on the suspend, or the resume fails - but it does seem to go to sleep) that doesn't suspend nor resume at all, using stock standard x86_64 kernel.

git bisect ?

Also you could try to blink keyboard leds, beep the speaker or debug
using 'hang/reboot' trick.
