Hello,

Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=753518 .  (The HP 
G4-1215DX also has a AMD A4-3300.)  After making the f16 kernel work, I 
ended up installing a f17/rawhide kernel from 
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 to fix other 
bugs, which will probably be the easiest solution for you.  I would be 
interested to hear if, after installing a newer kernel, suspend/resume 
worked for you.

Good luck,

Josh
