My T540p suspends fine but doesn't resume.  AMT says it came out of
resume but the power button says it didn't.  AMT seems to be broken
such that I can't get a serial connection.  I was hoping that I could
get a serial connect to help debug it.  I tried upgrading the firmware
and that didn't help.  Linux suspends and resumes just fine.  Graphics
works fine with the latest stuff.  I borred a W541 a while back and it
resumed with 10 but I don't have access to it now.

Thanks,
