Hello,
JFYI: Yet Another Suspend Breakage, it seems (hopefully someone can contribute to and further nail down this issue).
Working: vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc5-00068-gc5e35d6 (HEAD possibly unknown?)
Failing: vmlinuz-3.7.0-rc7-00179-g2db18aa (HEAD 3c46f3d6406b1d0c53575774b2d1fd013cd7f76f)
Athlon XP 32bit VIA 8K5A2+.
Florian Fainelli (1): x86/ce4100: Fix pm_poweroff
sounds like it *might* happen to be a candidate (I could try to add a revert on top, of certain likely candidates).
I started some initial pm debugging (Documentation/power/basic-pm-debugging.txt), and it started hanging once progressing from "devices" to "platform" in /sys/power/pm_test .
I could do more invasive debugging (and unloading modules at random, too), however given that I'm currently spending almost days debugging my third(!) non-working USB storage device in one year, I'm somewhat less inclined. As a side note, support status in (admittedly terribly complex, and certainly very challenging given Windows' usual dirty non-spec tricks in this area as well) USB storage areas seems to be nothing short of *terrible*. At the current rate, there's an almost one-in-three chance to end up with a dud when shopping for storage devices, it seems. This situation should DEFINITELY see improvement, ideally via a concerted effort (and finally get those lazy vendors involved, too!).
It really cannot be that hard to buy devices at random and plug into a large selection of random hardware to verify that everything works in a most compatible way!! Internet forums are full of stories about device failures on *Linux*, with some of the usual recommendations being "oh yeah, you need to disable ehci_hcd" (what a terrible "workaround") or "use irqpoll" (dito) [none of which helped in my two remaining cases].
So, all the usual problems (suspend breakage, USB storage) alive and kicking...
