Well suspend works fine on my T41 thinkpad, it is resume that kills my 
system ;).  In my case it resumes fine everything works for a few 
seconds to a minute and then I get major disk errors in dmesg, disk mounts 
read-only then system crashes, but not before I get disk corruption :(. 
Sounds like your problem might be a bit different?

I opened a bugzilla on my issue here:
