TBH, I suspect the system is broken in BIOS, i.e. Linux kernel never get chance
to do anything during resume.
Aaron,
can you please attach your debug patch to check if it hangs in BIOS or kernel?

I don't think so. _PTS is invoked during suspending.

Right, and Windows XP os name is none of these, thus leads to a different code
path, that's why I want you to check acpi_os_name="Windows 2001", actually, you
can even try any string as long as it does not match any of the above three
strings.

> None of them work.

you mean none of the above three? or none of the above three and "Windows
2001"?

As I suspect this is an BIOS issue, can you please check if there is any newer
BIOS available and upgrade your BIOS if possible?
