Then you don't have suspend to ram.

The way I read it, s2idle leaves the CPU running. So it is up to the OS if it wants to use it or not.

Right, well that's what the default distro provides on this hardware then. If you have any quick non destructive tests I would try them, but I've spent way too much time mucking around with low level parameters, and the way it is now suits me fine, especially being able to use the distro from install.
I think it's not a distro thing. It's a hardware thing.

Too bad. I was hoping AMD still supported it.
