X server was also randomly crashing. I submitted a bug against the X server/radeon driver at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19300. Was told it is likely a kernel modesetting problem. Setting a nomodeset option for the kernel boot seems to have solved the crash problem (at least the machine has been crash-free longer than usual). As an added bonus, resume after suspend now works correctly (but resume after hibernate still doesn't). I ran F9 on an older Thinkpad T41 with an ATI chip (don't remember the model), and never had any trouble - everything worked, including suspend and hibernate. The F9 live CD works well in the T60 laptop, including suspend and hibernate - so much so that I considered downgrading to F9.
