I tried compiling the Ubuntu kernel myself (from the package linux-source-2.6.22 in 7.10). I created two versions: one without any changes, and one where I had reverted the two following changes, which apparently came in 2.6.22-13 where it seems that the error started to appear, and both concern suspending:

With the first kernel I got the same problem as before (after my third or forth try it hanged), but with the second kernel I have now suspended it and resumed many times (at least 20-30 times) without any problems. It seems that I have managed to narrow down the bug to those two changes. However, I will still keep using this kernel for some time to see if it's really working or just luck :)

Unfortunately I did not yet manage to include Ubuntu's restricted drivers, so wireless and sounds are not working with this kernel. (But since this is the case with both self-compiled kernels and one of them hangs I can be sure that is not this exclusion that causes it to work...)

Should I report this to some kernel bug-forum, or what is the correct procedure?
