Diskless ASUS M2NPV-VM with AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Venice Core), BIOS 1001 
and Linux kernel 2.6.23.

Diskless ASUS A8N-VM CSM with AMD Athlon64 3800+ (Lima Core), BIOS 1007 
and Linux kernel 2.6.23.

Before these BIOS versions, S3 did not work completely. Before this 
kernel version, S3 did not work with the SMP kernel.

I use MiniMyth <http://linpvr.org/minimyth/>. The latest test build has 
the Linux kernel 2.6.23.

Both motherboard's support wake from S3 using USB. I use an MCE remote 
to sleep and wake the frontend.
