Thanks for all those log files! They will continue to be useful in
diagnosing the cause of our collective pain. We have a very helpful
expert from over at kernel.org assisting us so hopefully some light will
be shed on the cause of this problem.

Another request: If there is anyone using a current HP dv5 (or similar)
who is willing to try swapping out their current HDD for another brand &
model it would be appreciated. I can't do so anytime soon, for various
reasons, but if you have the means and know-how it could help. The
bottom line is that we need to prove or eliminate the HDD as a cause.

What to do: Replace your current HDD with that of a different brand.
Install Ubuntu and try suspend / resume. Report on what happens. This
could very well make no improvement, but we need some firm data here.
One possibility is that certain HDD models are not playing nice with
Linux & this particular BIOS. Only do this if you understand what you're
doing.

I repeat, this could very well change nothing - so don't go buying a new
hard drive unless you're completely ready for it not to work.

Thanks!
