My guess is a broken or unsupported ACPI. Try to update your BIOS/embedded
controller and start after it a new suspend to disk cycle. If that doesn't
help, you should try Software Suspend 2 (suspend2.net), which works for many
systems, almost regardless of the implementation of ACPI. I'm working on an
IBM T23 with swsusp2.

Martin

In pursuing this problem, I find myself stuck in apt-get hell:

dpkg: parse error, in file `/var/lib/dpkg/available' near line 2:
 field name `\u' must be followed by colon
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)

Prior to the above I did a fresh successful "apt-get update".  I can't 
do anything with apt-get.  My first guess is that somehow 
/var/lib/dpkg/available got corrupted.  Can someone confirm that?  And 
make suggestions on recovering?
