Problem Description:
The system hangs when it is waking from S3 power state. Fans, disk and cd drives
are turned on, but unfortunately there's no  video signal. The Numlock LED on
keyboard turns off after 5 seconds and that'all. I cannot 'ping' the machine
through the network. The powerbutton ( pressed shorter then 5 seconds) is not
responding. 
reset button helps :P 

And this is not hardware problem , this and all other acpi states were working
on windows xp.


Steps to reproduce:

echo "mem" > /sys/power/state
and then try to wake it by keyboard or powerbutton
Comment 1 Len Brown 2005-08-14 23:26:20 UTC
Restoring the video is the BIOS' responsibility,
and it can also be handled by X.

Please make sure you've got the latest BIOS.
Please make usre you're running the latest
version of X and have the latest driver for
this adapter.

There are some workarounds available, as documented
in the source tree: Documentation/power/video.txt.

If you've got a serial console then we can proceed
with debugging the resume problem w/o video -- otherwise
you're blocked on video restore.

Please reopen this bug if:
- it is still present in kernel 2.6.16 and
- you can provide the requested information.
