Ok, it seams I have some bios problem issues!

I wen't back to OpenSuse 10.2 in which I claimed suspend works - and
it did work before - now it doesn't work anymore!

I had to upgrade my bios in order to get Intel VT option in bios - and
that FINALLY enabled me to run Xen virtualisation! But it seams that
this new bios now has some other issues so not even OpenSuse which
worked doesn't now :(

First time I tried to suspend under OpenSuse 10.2 it freezed, and
second time it started to wakeup but some really strange noises came
from the HDD that FREAKED me out! I powered it off as soon as possible
- and everything worked fine on power up!

Do you have any information, does Intel virtualisation have any thing
to do with suspend/resume? Does it need to be disabled in order for
suspend/resume to work?

Does anyone have some more experience testing new laptops with Intel
VT technology?
