Re: NetBSD/i386 8.0 RC1 Vs. VIA C3

Hi Andy,

I believe you already reported this issue few times in the past,
including 7.0.1 (there is a bug report: port-i386/51466).
Unfortunately, it means the problem is pretty old (possibly to the
point that suspend have never worked) and difficult to investigate...
Can be caused even by buggy BIOS. Will try to investigate a bit and
see if I can find anything.
