Because it was suggested to me that I first keep the stock kernel and
try suspend/resume with it because, in his case, things stopped
working under the 2.6.17 kernel. suspend/resume seems to still be
very brittle, working sometimes on some laptops with some kernels, and
with other laptops using other kernels---and with my laptop no known
kernel (though I have not tested with any kernel after 2.6.12 yet).

My laptop, by the bye, is a Dell Percision M70, an otherwise wonderful
machine that is completely useless to me because of inability
to suspend/resume. I'm hoping fedora will solve that problem but
must find time to test it carefully.
