Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.15 kernel[0].

If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'.

If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'.
Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed".

Thanks in advance.

Tested latest upstream kernel 3.15 (and disabled workaround described above), problem persists.

Note that the first few suspends are often successful (either kernel). I'm still trying to figure out what the key element is that gets the system into the state where suspend fails every time - it may be connect / disconnect AC.

Amos Blanton, as per http://download.lenovo.com/express/ddfm.html an update to your BIOS is available (1.66). If you update to this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BiosUpdate does it change anything? If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette .

Thank you for your understanding.

The previous update caused all USB devices to fail, as well as the built in trackpad. This claims to have a fix for that, but probably does not fix another bios related issue: Booting the device when AC power is not present results in no mouse cursor. That affects all bioses after 1.52 I'm told. See this bug for more info:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1210748

In short, bios es for this device seem to be in rather bad shape.

I'll endeavor to test the latest, which claims have a fix for the disabling of all USB ports issue, in the next few weeks. Since it lists no other changes in the readme, it's unlikely to address this bug.

I switched to Arch, where the problem persists. The rc.local fix described above does not work because Arch uses systemd. Here is a UDEV rule that solves the problem.

# cat /etc/udev/rules.d/ehc1.rules
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="0000:00:1d.0", SUBSYSTEM=="pci", RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo EHC1 > /proc/acpi/wakeup'"

From:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1393073#p1393073

Apparently, even macs are having this problem, the root of which is the EHC1 USB device controller wakeing the computer - sometimes randomly. This bug is rather bad because it can cause the laptop to wake while inside an enclosed insulated space, like a backpack, which makes things get very hot in there.

I have little hope that the latest Thinkpad Bios will resolve this problem, but will try to test in the coming weeks.
