Subject: [2.6.29-rc2][Suspend regression][DRM ???? bisected]

hello,

With 2.6.29-rc2 (and rc1) i cannot resume from suspend to ram (echo mem 
 > /sys/power/state). Computer correctly suspends, but never wakes up 
(screens stays black and everything is unresponsive)

It has been working flawlessly in all prior kernel.
I tried a bisection and it "seems" to point to :
====================================
a9d51a5ad1154b5b20add1e8d30a5564f8aabbe9 is first bad commit
commit a9d51a5ad1154b5b20add1e8d30a5564f8aabbe9            
Author: Dave Airlie <airlied@...ux.ie>                     
Date:   Sun Dec 7 12:02:21 2008 +1000                      

    drm: reorganise start and load.

    Make sure we have the primary node so the device can add maps.

========================================

HOWEVER, I am not quite sure my bisect was correct; I mean, some "bad 
bisect" had a different behavior (resume produces  a garbage screen, 
computer locked)
and after bisect 57a6297e52b32ff402291a7d8fd802f83e746e52 all "bad" 
kernel wouldn't start X, init=/bin/bash booted fine but no resume

I tried  to revert but got errors
=============================
etienne@...enne-desktop:~/linux-2.6$ git revert

=========================
Please find attached bisect log, lspci (from 2.6.28-rc8) , and .config 
(2.6.29rc2)

I'm willing to test patches and ideas of course :)

Except for this regression, everything works fine for me, I migrated to 
ext4 and it "feels" a huge win especially on "rm" and fsck :))

best regards,
Etienne
