Comment 22 for bug 130979

I've run into this same problem as well. Have an old laptop Dell Latitude CPi from the late 90th and need to force acpi using the kernel option acpi=force.

I've run Xubuntu Hardy earlier where suspend to mem worked great. Now when installing Karmic the other day suspend to mem no longer works.

I have the same behaviour, i.e after recovering from suspend I have to ctrl+alt+f2/f7 to get back and then kill vbetool, use ctrl+alt+f2/f7 again to recover without vbetool running and back to normal load.

Thanx, the workaround it post #20 works for me too until fixed.
