You should read the fine print and check out www.leog.net. Some people
were able to get S3 working on their P2120, others (with newer bios)
didn't even get back to wakeup.S.

Some of the earlier issues (wake-up calling order, re-enabling
interrupts, bus mastering) went in. The pci hooks for power_on were
initially dropped and I haven't retried them.

Linux historically expects devices at least to be POSTed on S3 resume,
which is not mandated in the ACPI specs. The P2120 doesn't touch the
devices at all.

I wouldn't expect too much here... It is obviously important to
distinguish two types of problems

- kernel bugs that prevents Linux from running on an ACPI-compliant
  machine from

- quirks that a non-conforming machine requires in order for Linux to
  run.
