It wasn't quite as bad as I'd feared, but still very annoying;
thankfully I'd barely loaded X.

I had some file-system corruption as well... not sure if that was
caused by this or merely something that hadn't yet been noticed.

I'll have to investigate why I didn't get netconsole results, I'm
hoping it's just because syslog-ng wasn't smart enough to re-create
the file I'd compressed away.

Here are the pre-suspend logs I'd collected and stored off-system.
Unfortunately it didn't come up cleanly and by the time I was
restarting it after fsck I'd forgotten to collect the dmesg from the
resume attempt in case the netconsole logging failed.
