I can do the testing you requested over the next few days.
Can I suggest I start with kernels 3.2.0.10 vs 3.4, since I know that
some time during kernel 3.2 development suspend/resume started working
properly (see bug#863969, comment on 25 Jan 2012, kernel 3.2.0.10.10).
Kernel 3.4.4, in archlinux at the moment, doesn't work, so it might be
good to work backwards from there.
Or to work forwards from early 3.2 kernels to see what happened to fix it?
regards
Peter Hayward
