I have exactly the same problem with my ThinkPad X31! The problem seems to be a result of wrong BIOS messages from the ThinkPad.
In a Novell bugreport, they advise to either update the BIOS or add a kernel parameter at startup. I tried the solution with the parameter, and it seems to work for me. I added the parameter "acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig" to the "# defoptions=quiet splash" section in /boot/grub/menu.lst and did a "sudo update-grub". Please see, if it works for you too.
