What graphics card do you have? If it's nVidia, try building the driver with
ACPI_PM enabled and running "acpiconf -s3" from X11. That boots the video chip
up on my laptop at least - though it seems some corruption occurs because I've
had some odd panics afterwards in the fs and vm subsystems, and attempting to
suspend for a second time results in the system rebooting instead.
