I believe the problem is lack of good-enough ACPI support -- and T60s
don't have APM. At least on my T42, I lose the USB ports if I do an
ACPI "suspend" (it's not really called suspend, but you know that
better than I do...).  On some machines, there's also trouble with the
display, though I think that switching to a text console before
suspending is a useful workaround.
