My L100 doesn't wake from "suspend", regardless of what keys I press.
And when I press the power button, it abruptly powers off rather than waking. This is the case whether I manually suspended it, or if WinXP's power management suspended it.
In contrast, when in "hibernate", it wakes properly when I press the power button.
What should I do? I'm not actually sure what the normal wake-from-suspend behavviour is.
I don't remember but you might want to double check that the BIOS doesn't have a setting that somehow interferes with WinXP's power management (something like "APM managed by OS" or something).
Note that Win2k/XP hibernation is handled entirely by the OS - as far as the BIOS is concerned, going into hibernation is identical to switching off and restoring from hibernation is identical to booting up (which lets you do weird things by taking the hard drive out and putting it into another box whilst suspended ... let's just say Win2k doesn't like certain things being done to the hard drive whilst it is in hibernation!).
FWIW my L100 with a default Win2k install suspends and hibernates (and comes out of suspend/hibernate) beautifully with a plain default install (and continues to after most of the things I've done to it - the odd weird thing hasn't worked but that doesn't surprise me greatly!).
