Yes, well, laptops are likelier to work with suspend-to-RAM than other
systems. I suspend several desktops to disk to save power: on not a single one of them does suspend-to-RAM work, because it requires BIOS work that the desktop vendors didn't do. Requiring things of BIOSes is always risky (as we all know).

better yet, my desktop with 2.6.31 used to suspend to ram correctly, and after some distro updates (ubuntu 9.10) now it always fails. So it's is quite fragile even when it works.
