Problem with resume from suspend

Linux (not Gentoo only) can not return from suspend mode, problem is with BIOS firmware.

Check BIOS version:

# dmidecode -s bios-version

GRET29WW (1.06 )

If BIOS version is less than 1.13 you need to upgrade BIOS. You can find the latest version on download page > select "Component: BIOS" > BIOS Update (Bootable CD). (ignore that it supposed to be used with Windows)

• ThinkPad X1 Carbon Type 20A7 20A8 - BIOS Update (Bootable CD) (Doc DS039783)
• ThinkPad X1 Carbon Type 20A7 20A8 - BIOS Update Utility for Windows (Doc DS039782)

Follow this instructions: BIOS Upgrade
