Similar problems here

i renamed /etc/uswsusp.conf to olduswsusp.conf then
sudo dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic
rather than
sudo dpkg-reconfigure initramfs-tools

the reason being that this is the kernel i am using yet i have linux-image-2.6.24-21-generic on the system and without specifying the kernel only the most recent version was getting updated.

I have an Aspire one with ssd and an 8g sd card which has a 6 gb reiserfs and a 2gb swap file.
the device to resume from was the swap file. unfortunately this isn't mounted when the system tries to resume hence the need to ctrl alt f1 and enter. obviously aspire ones with hdd do have a swap file already mounted at this point and it seems that there is no issue with suspend and hibernate.
for ssd aspire ones
The solution seems to be to create a large enough swap file on the ssd so its available when trying to resume. admittedly thats going to restrict the size of the system partition to 6gb or so probably keeping /home there also. reiserfs seems to be resilient and hasn't been corrupted unlike ext2 and ext3 file systems on the sd card (so far).
