Currently on a X200 with 8MB Flashchip and 2x2GB Samsung (original) RAM.

Suspend to RAM sometimes works, but often fails. There are different
states of failure, e.g. it reboots after wakeup and the suspend led
(moon) is still on. Or it resumes fine but wireless lan is no longer
working.

I am using the latest version of Libreboot (release)

Got a P8700  @ 2.53GHz CPU

I guess this is an issue with RAM init, because I have only seen this
issue with the original Samsung RAM. I am quite sure if I would replace
them with e.g. Kingston, suspend would work fine again.
