Latham: 
Do you really have an nVidia NVS GPU in your machine? If not, don't read 
further and "acpi_sleep=nonvs" is not for you anyway. Also don't continue 
reading unless you're familiar with GRUB boot menu and reverting to stock 
kernel if something bad happens.
For Linux kernels above 2.6.35 this acpi_sleep=nonvs tweak is no longer 
necessary. You may try it with 2.6.36 kernel downloadable e.g. from here: 
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/
You would need to download 3 files into a new empty directory:
1) linux-headers-2.6.36-020636_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_all.deb
2) linux-headers-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_ARCH.deb
3) linux-image-2.6.36-020636-generic_2.6.36-020636.201010210905_ARCH.deb
where ARCH stands for your OS architecture, either i386 or amd64.
Once you have the corresponding 3 files downloaded, run "sudo dpkg -i linux*"  
(without quotes) from this directory. Thanks to linux-headers and DKMS support 
the nVidia kernel module should be compiled and inserted to kernel 
automatically. If everything installs successfully you may try to reboot into 
your new kernel and see if it helped. 

Dirkd: 
You say it failed at least once a day. Didn't you just change recently your 
daily habits using your laptop? It took me quite a long time to realize the 
resume failure occurs only on resume from battery power, so sometimes it made 
me feel it fails more often than the other day. Usually users don't realize if 
they're performing resume on batteries or on AC which makes them feel that 
sometimes it fails and sometimes it works.
