Oleksandr, please could you show the output of 'cpuid' after a
successful resume?  I'm particularly looking for this part...


$ sudo cpuid | grep -A1 1/ebx
   miscellaneous (1/ebx):
      process local APIC physical ID = 0x0 (0)
--
   miscellaneous (1/ebx):
      process local APIC physical ID = 0x2 (2)
...

I think I can put a header there as the motherboard does have pins, but I'd have to buy one first. In theory, I can do that, but that won't happen within the next few weeks.

I suspect not.
