Bug Description

Well, at first I'm from Germany so please excuse my (may) bad English...

So, currently I'm using Jaunty because it's the latest Ubuntu-distribution in which Suspend worked on my Thinkpad.
On Karmic and on an for test-proposes installed Lucid Suspend doesn't work anymore, not like on other reports when trying to resume, the going-to-sleep fails. Let me explain, either I can get my TP get to sleep with the keycombo Fn+F4 or with closing the lid (when configured in power manager) but it doesn't matter which method I try, the TP seems going to sleep, the moon-symbol/Sleep-LED on my TP starts flashing and that was it, CPU-Cooler runs, display-backlight too (but it's black) and that was it, absolute no reaction on keys pressed (every sysrq-combo, strg+alt+Fx,...) have to put it "hard" out (4 secs on power button).
With some commands I found in some forums I actually made it that the screen remained at the command-line which showed just the last command--not useful.
Well at first I thought it may be something with some drivers in the ubuntu kernel so I downloaded the mainline-drivers and tried every big steps from 2.6.28 up to 2.6.32, I'm sorry but I'm not quite sure when exactly it stopped to work, I think it was on *.30 (*.29 was the last one worked if I remember right, can test it again if needed just ask).

First time this happend I thought there's may an entry in a log-file, but every file I could imagine to be interesting for suspending have had entries of an age of 1-2 days ago.

Maybe also interesting, even on a Karmic-Live-CD Suspending doesn't work.

I could find just one post in the ubuntuforums.org of another user exploring this problem who's thread has no answers at all, seems this problem is very rare, couldn't find any other information to this bug on net even after 2h of searching with google.

Okay, so, don't hibernate to ask for any more information/logs/whatever you need to solve this problem, remaining on jaunty (with an gigantic difference in graphics-performance on intel for example) and on an old kernel isn't a solution for a long time and I definitely need suspension on my laptop)

*edit* Should also mention that the same happens when trying to hibernate-to-disk.
Uploaded to a video on Youtube to show you what happens: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgJuaK7bw44

*edit* Hm, not quite sure but seems to be a duplicate of the bug from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/485108

Thanks in advantance from Germany,
