OK, I can reproduce it: booting 3.10.5 vanilla (but see https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43007) with 'noefi', I can suspend and resume my S205.
Of course, 'noefi' makes it impossible to upgrade grub2, and there may be other issues, but it's certainly a workaround for the suspend problem. ** Bug watch added: Linux Kernel Bug Tracker #43007 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43007 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1089339 Title: Suspend fails on Ideapad S205 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Laptop testing Raring Ringrale (64AMD)on Lenovo Ideapad S205 AMD E-450, suspend fails. --- ApportVersion: 2.7-0ubuntu1 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: mads 1930 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: mads 1930 F.... pulseaudio DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=3f8eb1eb-e922-4eec-aa30-39ccd17fe056 InstallationDate: Installed on 2012-12-12 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.04 "Raring Ringtail" - Alpha amd64 (20121211) MachineType: LENOVO 1038D4G MarkForUpload: True Package: linux (not installed) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_US:en TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcFB: 0 radeondrmfb ProcKernelCmdLine: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.7.0-5-generic root=UUID=a8c6a21c-1475-4502-b80f-2e9ab743a976 ro quiet splash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.7.0-5.13-generic 3.7.0-rc8 PulseList: Error: command ['pacmd', 'list'] failed with exit code 1: Home directory /home/mads not ours.
