Works here. OTOH, I'm presently running 2.6.32-rc7.

I've just tested 2.6.31-1-686, though, and I see the delay (which is due to
an attempt to load the firmware, which times out). A second suspend or a
normal shutdown for reboot or (presumably) power-off will cause a panic.

There isn't presently a working firmware-caching patch.

... which was a broken fix which went into -rc5 along with the 'correct' fix.
All is well there now.
