Jeorg, I was referring to "Safe Susend" mode. What you describe is accurate for suspend mode, but there is an option for safe suspend in the BIOS. By safe, it means that the data is written to the hibernation file as well as RAM so that, in the event of power loss, you can still resume the system in the same place you left. If you'll try this option, you'll see the "writing to disk" animation come up when you suspend, rather than the screen just going blank. This option saved me lots of times when the early BIOS releases didn't wake up successfully every time. Sorry I wasn't clear before.
