Problem with resume from suspend

Linux (not Gentoo only) can not return from suspend mode, problem is with BIOS firmware. Check BIOS version:

grep Version

Version: GRET29WW (1.06 )

If BIOS version is less than 1.13 you need to upgrade BIOS. You can find the latest version on download page > select "Component: BIOS" > BIOS Update (Bootable CD). (ignore that it supposed to be used with Windows)

• BIOS Update (Bootable CD) 1.16-1.15 (7/31/2014)
• for BIOS Bootable CD 1.16-1.15 (7/31/2014)

Burn ISO-image to flashdrive or CD (if uses external CD drive), and load and install from the burned bootable drive.
