I have the same hardware and the same problem.
* I tried booting with init=/bin/bash and was able to unload *all* modules from memory. It did not help.
* I tried:
$ echo core > /sys/power/pm_test $ echo mem > /sys/power/state
And it went through. I think this suggests a problem with the BIOS itself.
* I tried the above with 2.6.30-02063004 from the kernel PPA. It did not work.
* I tried the above with 2.6.31-020631rc5 from the kernel PPA. It did not work.
All kernels I used are 64bit.
My BIOS version is 1.08.
