Kernel 2.6.14 konečně vyřešil můj problém s memory leakem kdesi v ACPI, takže nezbylo než upgradovat :-). Ovšem nvidiacký modul se poté zuřivě bránil suspendu do paměti, přestože to dříve fungovalo.

Samozřejmě řešení je jednoduché, stačí se podívat, jaké eventy se posílají:

 /*
 * There are 4 important states driver can be in:
 * ON     -- driver is working
 * FREEZE -- stop operations and apply whatever policy is applicable to a
 *           suspended driver of that class, freeze queues for block like IDE
 *           does, drop packets for ethernet, etc... stop DMA engine too etc...
 *           so a consistent image can be saved; but do not power any hardware
 *           down.
 * SUSPEND - like FREEZE, but hardware is doing as much powersaving as
 *           possible. Roughly pci D3.
 *
 * Unfortunately, current drivers only recognize numeric values 0 (ON) and 3
 * (SUSPEND).  We'll need to fix the drivers. So yes, putting 3 to all different
 * defines is intentional, and will go away as soon as drivers are fixed.  Also
 * note that typedef is neccessary, we'll probably want to switch to
 *   typedef struct pm_message_t { int event; int flags; } pm_message_t
 * or something similar soon.
 */

A příslušně opravit nvidiácké zdrojáky:
