Thanks very much for the suggestion Yves; unfortunately it doesn't
seem to help though. I've compiled the floppy driver as a module, but
I still experience the problems even without insmod-ing the floppy
module. (I also put the "floppy=thinkpad" option in lilo.conf, just
in case.)
I've narrowed the problem down to PCMCIA. If I boot without starting
any PCMCIA services, APM works fine. However, if I even do
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia stop
without any cards inserted, then resume from suspend still slows the
CPU to a crawl; in fact sometimes it even fails to resume (i.e. hangs
completely).
I've moved to 2.3.3ac3, and the same problems are there (not that I
had any reason to suspect that a newer kernel would fix it).
I'm going to post the problem to the PCMCIA/APM list now ... I really
hope someone has an idea on this because I'm getting desperate!
