As I said the only difference is that I didn't patch it with swsp (software 
suspemd) this time; I did before. And then there's still the possibility that 
some obscure kernel configuration was the cause. The kernel I'm running now 
has been completely reconfigured since I managed to lose my old .config for 
it :-( And AFAIR I applied exactly the same cpufreq patch (and acpi patch) to 
it. Still had them lying around in my source directory.
