One more thing:

I tried again to install 12.04.1 in EFI mode, since 12.04.1 does does not have the suspend/resume problem that 12.10 does, and it created an unbootable system as before. But this time I was able to make the system bootable through the use of the amazing boot-repair tool (available at https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair) which I was able to run from the USB stick boot.

Now I have a functional 12.04.1 system, installed to disk, booting with the BIOS in EFI mode so that I can also boot Windows 8 from the other partition when desired. Yay.

The problem of only being able to suspend and resume once remains with 12.10 and hopefully will be fixed, but I wanted to mention this workaround for others who might have a similar problem.
