Stop spreading fud. Take powersave + suspend from suse10.2, and see
if you can break it.
sata_nv seems to have problem, that's it. and it triggered problem in
reiserfs. Use ext3 if you care about your data, and yes your drivers
need to support suspend/resume.

My Compaq laptop, a Presario 2200, has video lockups using suspend to
disk and a dead system everytime I use it. I don't
think its fud. I also conceed its not Linux's fault most of the time.
These vendors put Windows specific hardware support
into these systems. My laptop has a dozen strange keys that work only on
Windows and if you push one of them in Linux,
the system looses state with the keyboard and croaks ( have to reboot to
recover). If I close the lid of my latop or do any other
suspend to disk state, the video display is croaked.
