SUSPEND WORKS with new kernel!  I one-by-one removed RPMS from utopia,
and tested suspend.  As soon as I removed pm-utils and re-installed
the one from Fedora Core, then the suspend to RAM worked, and wake-up
worked as well!

This has a SATA hard disk, it wakes up great.  I'm using the Nvidia
driver version 8774 with the kernel-smp that is in updates-testing,
and the ipw3945 wireless driver 1.0.12 with the following patch
applied (from the devel list)

Spacing is messed up by cut/paste, but you see the 2 lines are
necessary to make ipw3945 compile.  It too suspends and resumes great.

I have NO special adjustments in acpi scripts, no special nothing.
Suspend just works, as PROMISED.
