Same here! With Dell Latitude D820, the only kernel that will
suspend/resume is 2.6.16.  Unfortunately, that one started locking up
when the screensaver kicked in (I'm running the devel version of
g-p-m), so I had to upgrade the kernel.  So I don't even try to
suspend.

I'm told that a kernel update into the 2.7 or so era will correct this.
