Mine does not seem to be caused by KMS, the same kernel locks up on 
suspend without KMS.

Also I see a pattern with the lockups: when I test if suspend/resume is 
working it does not lockup most of the time but when I am finished with 
testing and start normal applications (most notably Firefox) the system 
locks up on suspend most of the time.

I do not see any messages at the point when the sytem locks up.

The only message on the screen is

s2disk: Snapshotting system.

Normally I get additional messages before and after this message but in 
this case it stays indefinitely with the fan running at top speed.

Thanks
