Ok, I realize how much there is, I do not know about my system (even though location and file name of the log are perfectly logical...).

Alas, the pm-suspend.log (see attached) to my eyes does not show anything but "OK"-type status messages.

Anyways, I dug around a little in the g-p-m documentation and found the dbus-calls that (I think) are used for suspending. So I tried running one of those "by hand" to find out, if g-p-m does its job right. To my surprise, the dbus-send operation (see below) resulted in exactly the same suspend-resume crash, I experience when using g-p-m!

dbus-send --session \
   --dest=org.freedesktop.PowerManagement \
   --type=method_call \
   --print-reply \
   --reply-timeout=2000 \
   /org/freedesktop/PowerManagement \
   org.freedesktop.PowerManagement.Suspend

Therefore, g-p-m is obviously not the culprit - but who is it? dbus? Can dbus call hal in a way that does not suspend like "pm-suspend" does?
