[Novel-d <282220@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I wanted to add that I faced the exact same issue with Dell Latitude
E7440 (4th generation intel laptop) which is known to have very good
compatibility with Linux, I have updated my bios(currently at A07) and
the kernel but the problem persisted.

I am using opensuse 13.1 and the kernel from Kernel:stable which is
currently 3.13.7-1-desktop and suspend to disk used to work only
occassionally, after adding the kernel parameter and restarting it seems
to work 100% of the time.

Title:
  Hibernate fails on Thinkpad T41

Status in The Linux Kernel:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I've installed Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid) on my Thinkpad T41 (which
  previously had 8.04 installed) and got all updates available.

  I can hibernate, and the hard-disk light indicates that memory state
  is saved to the disk.  When I start the machine again, the kernel
  boots, the Ubuntu splash screen appears (all as in 8.04), and the disk
  light indicates that memory is initialized again.  However, after
  that, the machine locks up, nothing more happens, except the Caps-lock
  LED flashing  Ctrl-alt-F1-9 did not do anything, i.e. there was no way
  I could find out what's wrong.  I also did not find anything relevant
  in /var/log/dmesg* or /var/log/syslog* (at least from my view; I'm no
  kernel hacker).

  When hibernating, the T41 switches the screen to text/console mode
  with just a blinking _ cursor.  On 8.10, I now get a message about
  "PCI" and "unable to thaw device" or something like it, which may be
  relevant to this behavior. (yes, the "thaw..." message appears not on
  resuming, but on hibernating)

  kernel is 2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 10 03:55:24 UTC 2008 i686
  (from uname -a)

  I'm unsure if this bug is related to bug #134680.
