I have had similar problems, standby works, but not S3, and don't
honestly care too much about disk :). I just hope S3 works one day. My
bug was pretty verbose so you should see the similarities if you check
it out.

Also, I have been getting this message in my dmesg in the latest kernels:
acpi_bus-0212 [02] acpi_bus_set_power    : Device is not power manageable

I tried asking how I could find out which device this is but I got no
answer to the mailing list.
