I am not going to install Windows Vista on any machine ever, so this bug will remain at an impass. The only BIOS update available is for Windows Vista. Using a bootable Winows PE cd does not allow me to run the BIOS update utility... I will continue to use the hacky workaround instead.

But the computer simply rebooted, instead of resuming from suspend. I never use suspend, so It is working fine for my daily needs. I use the kernel full time daily without any major usability issues, save for this small issue that normally wouldn't effect me. WORKAROUND: Edit the /etc/default/grub file: gksu gedit /etc/default/grub Look up the line where it says: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" and change it to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi_sleep=nonvs" Save and close the gedit file. Update the GRUB menu: sudo update-grub Reboot and enjoy! --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.25.
