This is a known problem. Juan had mentioned the
possibility to recognize the device and automagically
resolve it but for now here is the fix.

add "noacpi" to your append statement in lilo. 

To do this edit /etc/lilo.conf as root
example from xterm:
mcedit /etc/lilo.conf

you will see an append= statement on each kernel
option
example:
append="devfs=mount quiet"

add noapic to this
example:
append="noapic devfs=mount quiet"

do this for every listed kernel

save (F2 in mcedit) and exit (F10 in mcedit)
type the following within xterm as root:
lilo
and hit enter

You should see a list of your kernel options. If there
are no errors then you are safe to reboot and that
should resolve all but suspend/resume problems.
