Ok I'm going to address this issue. You specified multiple issues in your email. I think it's better to split each issue into its own posting. It's simpler easier to work with one problem at a time and also replies to postings on different issues don't get all garbled up/confusing in archive searches. Ok the echo trick isn't the recommended way to suspend to disk. A better way is to use "pm-hibernate --quirks" (pm-hibernate is from the pm-utils packages). The --quirks option will try to handle any, well, quirks that are known with your hardware. echo'ing to /sys/power/state is a little more low-level and could be iffy on some types of hardware. You should also check dmesg. More than likely there is a kernel error that explains why it failed to suspend completely.
