  What machine's images you used? I guess we should standardize on
whse stuff we steal ;-) (even though sometimes it's good to check
different images). I'm using h2200 - the CPU, plus it officially
supports HaRET booting (also, it's modules/arch/ empty, which is
good).

  Hm, strange. So far I'm booting with NFS, and don't have random
suspends. But I confirm hang-on-resume issue. I believe I know the
cause of issue (a kind of infinite loop in touchscreen driver), but I
try to follow h1910 port on the changes,a nd its maintainer, Pawel
Kolodziejski, suggests there's another cause involved. I guess, until
I figure it all out, I just commit workaround for this.

  I got a feeling that GPE also has issues with timezones ;-).

  Yeah, we should be glad that both official Familiar images boots on
h4000, and touchscreen works out of the box! ;-)
