NEC Versa 5080x hangs on resume

Hello,

I have an NEC Versa 5080X that is unable to resume properly from suspend.
On resume, I get my previous screen back (X or console) without the
slightest disturbance to the image, but nothing happens.  It doesn't
respond to keyboard or mouse input and doesn't seem to process resuming
tasks (probing pcards, etc.).

The weird thing is, I had another of the exact same machine that resumed
perfectly.  I've compared BIOS versions, firmware, etc. and they're all the
same.  One works, the other doesn't.  So, I figured, no problem, I'll swap
the guts with the other one (the first one had a bad display backlight).
No dice - the parts from the old machine, after transplant, won't resume
either.  I am baffled.

After rebooting, I see nothing in 'messages' from after I suspended.  Not
just nothing interesting...nothing at all.

So, I'm hoping somebody on this list has a guess.  It's a relatively old
machine (Pentium MMX 233) - could it just be somewhat broken WRT apm or
suspend?  Any input would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
