I think that .config fails due to the lack of CPU_FREQ support. I think
I remember that specifically this powerbook model boots at low speed and
fails to resume if not suspended at high speed. The cpufreq driver for
powermacs knows about that and ramps up the frequency before suspend.

Can you give that a try ?

In fact I verified on mine that your minimum config fails the same way
you described but it works when I re-enable cpufreq support.

We might want to do something to warn people in this situation.. maybe
the sleep code can somewhat verify that cpufreq is there.

Cheers,
Ben.
