As I wrote already, there is a bug in kernel GPS suspend/resume code which
leads to GPS not being powered after resume. Simply re-enable it manually via
Settings, or apply my patch sent to kernel list (but still not merged into git)
- http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/2009-January/007447.html

I'm attaching also a version against stable.git for those still running 2.6.24..
