Could not suspend device [VIA UHCI USB controller]: error -22

When I try to "standby" (echo standby > /sys/power/state)
a 2.6.14 system running on a VIA C3-based system with VIA
chipset (suspend to disk never worked on this system --
as stated on swsusp website it's due to the lack of some
CPU instruction on this CPU [but winXP suspends to disk
on this system just fine]), it immediately comes back, with
the above error message:

Stopping tasks: =====================================================================|

Here's the PCI devices:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade/i1 (rev 6a)

(note it's the second USB interface which fails).
And here's the USB device list:

Bus 002 Device 002: ID 07cc:0301 Carry Computer Eng., Co., Ltd 6-in-1 Card Reader
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0458:0036 KYE Systems Corp. (Mouse Systems)
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

This machine was never able to go to standby mode completely - before
2.6.14, it performed resume after several secounds of sleeping. Now
it does not even try to sleep anymore.

Also, "suspend to mem" does just nothing, -- the same as "suspend to disk"
(but for disk, it never worked at all as stated above).

Any hints on where to look at?

Thanks.
