Symptoms: 1. Without the LSI 9211-8i card in, pm-suspend suspends the machine to S3 and powering on the system resumes fine. 2. With the card in and the drive on it, pm-suspend seems to suspend but when I try to resume, it just does a regular power on. 3. With the Windows XP on dual boot setup on the same drive in another partition, I suspend to S3 and it resumes fine, with and without the card. This combination points to mpt2sas driver being the culprit. Let me know what additional information you need.
