Unfortuantely Suspend/Hibernate are buggy in Linux,  probably to do with the
ACPI standard perversions in hardware. The good news is with a bit of
research there are ways in most cases you can make it work. I have done this
with my IBM-Thinkpad and all is fine, my suspend works great after my hacks.


Perhaps you could tell us the components that your laptop uses, so we can
advise further.

Kind Regards
