Is this the right list to ask such questions?  I want to help you guys but I 
don't have the technical knowledge to produce the information I think you 
need.  If it's the wrong list then some suggestions of somewhere better to 
post the problem would be welcome.

How useful is the information that 'resume-trace' will provide, if I can get 
it working.  Remember, I have one working kernel and more than one failing 
kernel on the same laptop.  Would 'resume-trace' info from both sides be 
useful?
