I had that same problem with my Dell Inspiron 8600. I tried the "hibernate" package, which someone suggested, and everything works fine, now. I recall there were a couple of changes to the config that I was told to make, but I think hibernate fixed the problem even without those changes.

Try "hibernate" first. If that doesn't work, then I can go find the changes I made.

One thing you probably do have to do is change one config file in /etc/hibernate. There's a config file which basically lists the types of hibernation to try and in what order. It's something like:

   Load /etc/hibernate/ram.conf
   Load /etc/hibernate/sysfs-ram.conf
   Load /etc/hibernate/ususpend-ram.conf
   Load /etc/hibernate/disk.conf
   Load /etc/hibernate/sysfs-disk.conf
   Load /etc/hibernate/ususpend-disk.conf

Or something like that. You can rearrange them to alter what order they're tried in. You can probably also just use the "hibernate-disk" and "hibernate-ram" commands.
