I can't tell what graphics card you have from this sig .. if it's an 
ati, then you can't hibernate / suspend on gutsy if you use fglrx .. 
it's a kernel incompatibility that only ati can fix.  Suspend / 
hibernate in gutsy are done by acpi-support.  So, look at the options in 
/etc/default/acpi-support and play with them to see if disabling some 
things will help.  For example, nvidia does not support VBE so it's 
necessary to set SAVE_VBE_STATE=false and POST_VIDEO=false.
