Comment:
Due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1070627 added request for full computer model and BIOS update.

  The debugging procedure described below requires a linux kernel with the capability of "/sys/power/pm_trace". You can ensure that pm_trace'ing is possible by looking in the directory /sys/power/ (from a terminal type {{{ls /sys/power/}}})
  to see if a file called pm_trace exists.

  Resume problems are difficult to debug.  The approach used here needs to make notes on progress during resume and be able to recover them after a manual reboot.  But there is no non-volatile storage available at the time resume is bringing up your computer. The only hardware on a PC motherboard that retains information across power cycles is the real time clock (RTC), so that is what is used. For those that want to know the details, read Documentation/power/s2ram.txt in your kernel sources. The implementation of suspend/resume debug trace is in drivers/base/power/trace.c.
