I did some more playing around with this today. I'm now running the
2.6.27-11-generic kernel, and I have also tried 2.6.28 and 2.6.29-rc5
(the latter two compiled from kernel.org source). They all behave
similarly, but the testing reported here was with the 2.6.27-11-generic
kernel from Ubuntu.

Some things I've noticed:

a) The sleep.sh script is not working consistently for me lately, when
run from a terminal window inside Gnome. I can suspend (the computer
shuts down to its suspended state, and the blue LED blinks, so the
hardware must think it's asleep). But it often doesn't resume past the
blinking cursor (see description above). Sometimes it does boot up
again, but I get a Gnome login prompt and I've lost my previous Gnome
session, so that's not very good.

b) Using the "Suspend" menu items in the Gnome GUI consistently fails to
resume to a booted state at all, or sometimes I might get the blinking
cursur.

c) If I use control-alt-f1 to get to the tty1 console from Gnome, log in
at the console prompt, and run sleep.sh from there, I can consistently
sleep and resume.

c) After sleep/resume from tty1 console, I can use alt-f7 and get back
to my previous Gnome session (yeah!! It actually resumes! I have a work-
around!). Usually the network is not properly connected, but after
taking care of that, I can work as normal. (This is what I normally do
when I first boot up the computer after a shutdown, so it is not a
surprise -- I use a custom network config.)

So it seems as though the problem has to do with suspending from Gnome,
and resuming straight to Gnome. Does that tell anyone anything? Any
troubleshooting ideas?
