RAM and disk are fine. It is now running Linspire 4.5. I did a Google
search on Software Resume 2 Linux and it came up with all sorts of
problems related to this. Apparently it requires some sort of patch to
get it to work as the problem is related to ACPI support. I am not
quite sure I understand it, but the key is the information in the
diagnostic that I posted - key to the problem that is, not the solution.
