The machine physically unsuspends, but the system does not repond. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Suspend 2. Resume Actual Results: If in a text console, console text comes back, but machine does not respond. If in X, screen remains blank. Expected Results: Correct unsuspend. Additional info: Machine is able to resume correctly with 2.4.18-0.21 (except for the occasional screwed X unsuspend). Problems began with (null) upgrade from 7.2 (said upgrade having "helpfully" removed older kernel packages). Will attach lsmod, lspci -vv, and relevant /var/log/messages output.

Also tried with both bios version A10 and A13 (sorry for the bugzilla spam :)
I also have an inspiron 8100, I believe with the same options (ie, Radeon M7), and experienced the same problem. The symtom for me was that whenever waking up from a suspend state, the hard disk would wirr away, but I would only have a blank screen. The only way to get out of this was to hard-reboot.
I think I found the cause for this. To verify the hypothesis, please try the i586 kernel and see if that one works. If it does, I know how to fix it.
Just tested with 2.4.18-11-i586, and am able to suspend and resume correctly. So I'm guessing you know how to fix it :)
ping... any progress on this? Stock 2.4.19 suspend/resume works fine, but eepro100 doesn't get reinitialized correctly at boot (I'm assuming the dell/eepro100 patch hasn't made it to the upstream yet).
the released erratum from a few days ago is supposed to fix this..
Ah ok; didn't see tihs bug in the fixed-bugs list. Downloaded it last night, didn't install it yet.
