Hello, I have got an theory regarding spontaneous SL-5500 OZ 3.5.4 crash during suspend. Looks like it happens, when kernel have too much data in buffers to sync back to the media (SD card). When buffers don't manage to get on disk in time (e.g. before the general halt), the kernel stuck. This also explains frequency of crash-during-suspend cases while PDA is in craddle, when the files transfer from or to computer just occured, and no forceful sync was done. Some time ago I proposed (not related to stuckages) to disable lighiting and blank screen immediately after initation of suspend procedure. That would greatly improve user perception on device's responsiveness. -- Arieh
