Dave,
Sorry about the slow speed at which I've got around to testing this kernel.
Suspend and resume is still busted in this kernel on my Dell Inspiron 9300.
Seems to suspend okay, but wont resume. Keyboard is dead and the only way to fix is to hold down the power button.

Some of the rawhide testers found that things broke a while ago and recently started working again. The problem is I'm not entirely sure which changes are responsible.
As a worst case, hopefully a rebase to .18 when its released will fix it, but hopefully before then we can figure out which patch broke things and just revert that change.

Quick me too: my Acer Ferrari 4005 suspends but with 2171 does not resume. Black screen, no response from the keyboard (capslock led does not turn on). Need to hit the power button also for a hard cycle.
As a worst case, hopefully a rebase to .18 when its released will fix it, but hopefully before then we can figure out which patch broke things and just revert that change.
Fwiw someone with the same laptop tracks rawhide and mentioned today that the current rawhide kernel also does not resume.
Regards, Patrick

Dave,
Tell me what kernels to download and from where and I'll test them for you.

Allow me to point a finger if I may. I'm currently using kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5
I (like many fedora users) use livna and in particular, since I have a nvidia graphics card, I use the binary nvidia supplied using livna. I also use updates-testing. Recently (the last few days) I did a yum update and livna offered up a package for my kernel (which is currently in updates-testing). This doesn't happen that often.
I booted into kernel-2.6.17-1.2174_FC5 to give it a try (since the nvidia driver had also been upgraded) and for a lark I tried out suspend/resume, only to find it worked. I've been using kernel-2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 for some time since suspend/resume works and this makes using my laptop a lot nicer.
This got me to thinking (since you complained that this suspend and resume problems seems to come and go and you can't seem to pin down what was causing it) that maybe the problem isn't the kernel, maybe its the xorg-x11-drv-nv package.
In the true spirit of a good tester, i disables the nvidia-glx service (which toggles xorg.conf files depending on whether or not the nvidia kernel module exist) and then restarted X, which start, but using the 'nv' driver (and not the 'nvidia' driver). Suspend and (particularly) resume failed.
Restart the system, turn back on the nvidia-glx driver support and suspend and resume works again.
As a worst case, hopefully a rebase to .18 when its released will fix it, but hopefully before then we can figure out which patch broke things and just revert that change.
So, to cut a long story short, I don't think it's a kernel related patch, but something to do with xorg-x11-drv-nv
Can someone confirm this and (regardless) do I file a bug report under this driver?

1. the kernel you say is in updates-testing has been installed on my machine since August 15 [1], from updates. The livna nvidia drivers have been installed since August 19 [2] and the latest nvidia update was installed August 26 [3]

Yep, I stand corrected on this. Mine is also from updates, not updates-testing. Must have missed the update to that kernel and it would explain why livna supported it.
