check if you have the correct resume= parameter (should show up in
/proc/cmdline)
To debug suspend issues, it is often useful to start the machine with
init=/bin/bash and try it from there to narrow down the problem as much
as possible.
I have written a short introduction on how to do this on
http://www.opensuse.org/ACPI_Suspend_debugging (should apply to most
distributions, not only suse ;-)
