I have problems with suspend too on a Dell inspiron. Sometimes after
resuming the keyboard wont work. The solution for me was this (hope it
helps someone):

As root, create the following files:

/etc/acpi/resume.d/40-i8042-input.sh
Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Rebind the AT keyboard interface.
if [ -f /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind ]; then
  echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/bind
fi

/etc/acpi/suspend.d/20-i8042-input.sh
Code:

#!/bin/sh

# Unbind the AT keyboard interface.
if [ -f /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind ]; then
  echo -n "i8042" > /sys/bus/platform/drivers/i8042/unbind
fi

Set them as executable and you're good to go.
