Indeed, this i can confirm. With acpi=off, the laptop suspend (or
hybernate?) works again. Of course, there is no "acpi", and thus some
other features become missing, for example, the CPU speed of the T40
laptop gets stuck at 600MHz, and does not change depending on the
presence of the AC input.
If your T40 supports speedstep, then it's probably doing what it is
supposed to be doing - keeping the processor speed low until the machine
actually needs it.
For example, my X22 shows this speed right now (cat /proc/cpuinfo):
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 800MHz
cpu MHz : 531.712
... and since I'm just composing an e-mail that's fine.
Start doing something more CPU-intensive, and I get:
model name : Intel(R) Pentium(R) III Mobile CPU 800MHz
cpu MHz : 797.569
Yours may be doing something similar.
