--- Comment #24 from Patrick Peck <patr...@zync.at>  2013-05-23 09:39:26 ---
I updated the BIOS to the latest version 4BCN24WW, which itself was not
trivial, but doable using the information from my previous comment. I a live CD
of Ubuntu Raring which uses kernel 3.8. Using that setup, suspend to ram and
resume worked flawlessly.

However, I couldn't get it to install on HDD because efibootmgr didn't create
the uefi boot entries required to boot from the HDD, probably because of this
bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1167622

Trying to create the boot entries with an older version of Ubuntu (12.04), I
somehow managed to make the laptop unbootable. "Unbootable" means that the
computer starts and the display shows the BIOs screen, but immediately becomes
unresponsive. It seems like the BIOS crashes (maybe because of faulty boot
entries?), any effort of repairing it have failed so far (that includes trying
to boot into recovery mode using Fn+R, and removing the CMOS battery).

So I'd say this issue can be closed, because there's a solution to it, but
unfortunately, the solution has some severe issues itself and is not without
risks.
