Bug Description
When I suspend my system to RAM, actually suspend does not work and instead I get a blinking cursor, and after some time system turns back again. After some debugging, I've found this within the logs of dmesg :
https:/
The command sent to trigger these logs was:
echo 'mem' > /sys/power/state
With pm-suspend they do not appear.
On my system, devices sda and sdc actually point to HDDs WD Caviar Black with firmware 05.01D05. sdb and sdd point to other HDD models, not these ones. And it turns out that I get errors with these specific devices, sda and sdc. The bug is not always reproducible, sometimes suspend goes well, but sometimes it doesn't. I suspect there's something wrong with the commands sent to these devices. The bug started to be reproducible with Ubuntu 12.10, prior to this while I already owned these HDDs. The HDDs themselves are not culprit as the suspend command works on MS Windows 7. And my configuration is also not culprit as I tested with a raring liveCD and the result is the same.
WORKAROUND: - Run as root :
echo 0 > /sys/power/pm_async
(added to /etc/rc.local to be permanent)

After re-reading the bug report I found out that the HDD brand there is not the culprit, as /dev/sdd points to a WD Caviar Blue. Anyway there's something fishy with the HDD driver there.
