so try different kernel versions. Start with 3.0.3 and then go down - one 
kernel per release (not all those stable releases in between) should be 
enough. Then, as soon as it starts working again, you can narrow it down. 

Use vanilla kernels for this.

Second, enable wake on lan - if your machine hangs while suspending, try to 
kick it back to life with a wol-packet.

Third point, there are some checks and self tests among the kernel debug 
options related to suspending, enable them.


For me, 3.0.1 is the first kernel ever that made it possible for me to 
suspend-to-ram (with fglrx even). Suspending is a bitch, breaking and 
unbreaking on an irregular basis thanks to crappy bios'.
