Some more information that may be helpful: * The 64 bit version of 12.04.1 does actually have some preliminary support for EFI, enough to boot from a USB stick. When I do boot this I can suspend and resume many times without trouble. Recall that the 32 bit version of 12.04.1 has no support for EFI (it appears) so I could not boot it at all with my BIOS set to EFI mode, which I must do to be able to dualboot Windows 8 on the other partition.
* Therefore the problem I am having with 12.10 only being able to suspend/resume once is very likely not related to 64 bit vs. 32 bit issues since now I know that 64 bit 12.04.1 booted in EFI mode from a USB key can suspend/resume many times just fine. Nor is the suspend/resume problem likely related to EFI vs CSM (old BIOS compatibility) issues, for the same reason. My understanding is that EFI replaces lots of old BIOS functionality, so it seemed to be a potentially likely source of suspend-resume issues, but that appears not to be the case. * I would gladly just downgrade and install the the 64 bit version of 12.04.1 on the hard disk since it supports EFI and is able to suspend/resume multiple times, BUT even though it is able to boot EFI off the USB stick, it is sadly apparently not able to create a proper EFI boot on the hard disk (as 12.10 can). Sigh.
