I switched to uswsusp and used this page to help me:

http://blog.paulbetts.org/index.php/2007/02/11/fixing-software-suspend-hibernate-with-uswsusp-in-ubuntu-feisty-and-edgy/

I had to do this on Feisty and this worked great.

Try first installing the uswsusp package and then try a "sudo s2disk" in 
a terminal.
