Hi Rob, Some of the hardware in the R40 seems a bit strange, the CD detection problem is strange, however the problem you're seeing with resume is not so uncommon, specific models sometimes have quirky suspend/resume behavior and without the manufacturer's help it can be difficult to properly implement these functions.
I noticed you mention the system is a bit old, and indeed the BIOS dates from 2003. Usually, hardware support for slightly older systems is better in newer versions of Ubuntu, but still, your system may work better with a previous version. So one possible thing to try is for you to check with an older version of Ubuntu, perhaps 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) or 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). If you are able to download and burn to CD, start a Live CD session and check whether the system is able to suspend and resume, and also whether Linux "sees" your CD drive, it would be helpful to know the results of these tests. You can get previous releases here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/ So from here, if you report indicating that things worked in a previous version but now they don't, it's a good starting point, since we know that Ubuntu worked at some point. However if it doesn't work with older versions, then it means suspend/resume on your system hasn't been correctly implemented. In this case I might ask you to try some other debugging procedures to get more information on what might be going wrong, and then turn this in to Ubuntu developers, see if they can help figure it out.
