Just as an FYI, FN-A works fine on the i7k too. (Although I usually
switch to a text console first to prevent glitches on the screen.)
I'm booting using lilo with linux installed on a secondary partition.
Sound (just simple beeps) work ok after the FN-A suspend/resume.
I had to use phdisk to remove and then re-add the suspend file after
repartitioning, but other than that nothing special needs to be done.
