Suspend Dell 8500

[Gabriel Eduard Mititica]

I'm trying to suspend on a vanilla 2.6.6 kernel

echo 4 > /proc/acpi/sleep

In init 3 I loose one of the mice (the touchpad still works), but it's
easy to recover (/sbin/modprobe usbserial)

In init 5 it hangs on recovery and the only thing I can do is to remove
the battery and unplug the power cord. After reboot I have to recover the
swap partition (/sbin/mkswap -c /dev/hda9 && /sbin/swapon -a)

In case this info might be relevant:

====

cat /etc/grub.conf

default=0
timeout=10
splashimage=(hd0,4)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title 2.6.6
        root (hd0,4)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.6 ro root=LABEL=/ selinux=0
resume=/dev/hda9 3
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.6.img
title windows
        rootnoverify (hd0,1)
        chainloader +1

====

I have a Nvidia card which works with REGPARM and 4KSTACKS not set in
config (if X is the trouble maker)

====

cat /etc/fstab| grep swap

/dev/hda9	swap	swap	defaults	0 0

====

BIOS is the latest - version A05

Any idea what I'm doing wrong and/or how can I get the suspend mode
working?

Thanks,
Gabriel

PS: Let me know if I can provide any relevant logs (I dug for them without
success)
