I downloaded the following files:
linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc2_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410262035_all.deb
linux-headers-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410262035_amd64.deb
linux-image-3.18.0-031800rc2-generic_3.18.0-031800rc2.201410262035_amd64.deb

and installed. It would not boot, complaining that it could not find
the root drive by UUID. Perhaps the instructions for installing a
kernel are inadequate.

I have now purged that kernel, and upgraded the bios to the A06 level.
As far as I can tell everything is going fine during the resume EXCEPT
that the backlight is not turned on. Every time I open the lid the disk
light flickers in a consistent pattern, the mouse turns on, and the
keyboard works. But without the display all I can do is Alt-PrtSc-RSEIUB!
