system halts during hibernate and resume until key/mouse press/action

Putting my Laptop into hibernate mode causes the following porblems:

1. hibernate does not always complete, but it pauses/halts and only continues when I press and hold a key or move the moues / trackpoint.

2. resume from hibernate mode also most of the time pauses/halts in the same way and only continues when I press and hold a key or move the moues / trackpoint.

3. after holding a key to resume completely the system still needs key or mouse actions to work properly, e.g. the system-performance applet stops to scroll for some seconds, or in terminal the last pressed key does not appear until another key is pressed.

(seems like the system need an interrupt call to continue to work, maybe the new tickless kernel does cause this problem???)
