I'd like to note that IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad X41-2527 users running
current Dapper will have working sound after resuming from suspend
(does not require rebooting) as long as they're running the latest BIOS
from Lenovo. It looks like this annoying "feature" can finally be
marked off for users of ThinkPad X41-2527s (and possibly additional
X41s).

Additional testing by ThinkPad users (of differing models) is greatly
appreciated.

While USB in current Dapper survives suspend/resume just fine, I have
an interesting use case: Many of my students have USB drives. The ones
who have taken it upon themselves to use ext[23], JFS, and so on find
that plugging in their drives after resuming from suspend do not find
their volumes automounted in GNOME. (No, they're not umounting the
volumes prior to suspending). A "simple" fsck (just replaying the
journal) prior to mounting allows their volumes to be automounted
again.

Thanks,
