Are you saying that it broke when you switched to the kernel based 
suspend?  Or only broke when you upgraded to 2.2?  There are still a 
few open suspend/resume bugs, maybe you're hitting one of those?

I hope it's fixed, but it's very possible that it's not... Getting the 
timing and register restore ordering right so that it works on both 8xx 
and 9xx chips is turning out to be pretty tricky.
