I have an R51 which is similar to what you have
(http://www.charlescurley.com/Lenovo.R51.html), and have observed
similar problems. I'm afraid the only
solution to them I've found is to fall back to the 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5
kernel. Suspend to ram works there. I haven't tried suspend to disk
recently enough on it to remember whether it works on this kernel or
not.

BTW, check to see if your system has the power drain
problem. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_high_power_drain_in_ACPI_sleep

Sleep control now runs through Gnome, so I'm not surprised it doesn't
work if you boot to level three.

Hmmm, oddly enough, that sounds like the video card I have, and with
that kernel I have problems.
