You may be referring to Dagobah's suspend2-patched kernels for
Dapper. They are available here:

http://www.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au/~dagobah/dapper-kernels/

There is also a forum post somewhere that details it a little bit
more, but I didn't find it in 2 seconds of searching (there are a lot
of results for suspend2, but I'm sure it's there somewhere).

For what it's worth, it works perfectly[*] for me.

[*] Every once in a while, it fails on suspend and I have to switch
the machine off. It seemed like this would only happen when I
unplugged my laptop before it switched off, so I stopped doing
that. Since then, I have only noticed it failing once out of dozens of
successful times. Running uptime tells me that the machine has been
"up" for > 6 days, and I hibernate it more than once per day, so it
almost never fails.
