I've rechecked patch with fresh kernel build and firewire console.

It does not panics and does not awake :( 
As in previous variant it sleeps ok, but on awake it only spin up HDD.
No any other activity seen, it does not react on keys, firewire console
is dead.
It does not answer on network activity.

Probably It hangs while try to restore console, and I should try to
disable console at all ? 

Any other ideas ?
