Comment 19 for bug 1171560

I have not shut my computer off for 1.5 years non stop due to this bug. Both suspend to ram and hibernation freeze the kernel, leaving a backlit HDMI LCD monitor with blinking cursor. Computer fans remain running, power light remains steady, when should be blinking. Does not wake from this state. USB Keyboard and mouse unresponsive, leaving no way to access virtual consoles using ctrl+alt+f1. Hard reboot is necessary. Suspend worked fine for years with all the same hardware including two different ATI cards (ATI Radeon 4850 & 7850). After switching to an NVIDIA Geforce GTX 660 the kernel began to crash on suspend.
The model number of my card is similar, 10de:1183, though mine is not a TI. Suspend & hibernate fails across the board on Mint 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 and latest Ubuntu development build. I've tried nearly everything, including the latest video drivers, custom suspend / hibernate executions. Changing every bios setting related to IRQ, power management, and "suspend." Switching between DVI and HDMI ports, etc.

I would like to try the workaround but I am using mint 17, and /etc/rc.d doesn't exist. Where would I place this in Mint 17? Please help.
