I've added "resume" to my mkinitcpio, and to my parameters for grub. The problem for me is that when I go to suspend, it doesn't even suspend, it just closes everything, switches to a black/blank screen with the blinking symbol _ , and stays there. It doesn't fully shut down. Then I have to manually restart the computer. I also have pm-utils installed. - Jon
