Would anybody be able to give me some advise in addition to the suspend/resume 
FAQ on how I might be able to debug the resume stage so that I can understand 
what is failing and if appropriate log a bug.

Currently my system appears to suspend OK from the suspend option within gnome. 
The monitors go into power save and the box goes to low power mode with fans 
stopping and a flashing power light. 
When I attempt to resume by hitting the power button the system fails to resume 
properly. The system appears to power back up, Fan spin up and the power light 
returns to solid but I get nothing else out of the system - no monitors no 
response to ping. /var/adm/messages just shows 'System is being suspended' and 
then nothing until the new boot messages when I give up and force a shut down 
by holding the power button. I have also tried running /sbin/uadmin 3 20 from 
the text console and I get the same results.

The FAQ suggests I try using kmdb to attempt to get some further information so 
I started with a -k after the 'unix' at  the end of the grub line but when I do 
that I get a message indicating that power management has been disabled and the 
/etc/power.conf file gets wiped. (at this point I should admit thats I know 
nothing about kmdb so I may be doing the wrong thing)

The one other thing i did was to run /sbin/uadmin 3 22 from the text console 
and the system did come partially back (well the network interface did but the 
screens stayed blank)

What steps might I be able to take to try and find some more information? would 
hooking the box up to a console connection help if I someone can advise me how 
to use kmdb correctly?

This system is running the build 95 bits from the opensolaris/indian 
pkg.opensolaris.com IPS repo.
Thanks in advance for any advise.

James
