kernel panic on resume from S3 - stumped

From: Tim Hockin

4 days ago I had Ubuntu Lucid running on this computer. Suspend and
resume worked flawlessly every time.

Then I upgraded to Ubuntu Precise. Suspend seems to work, but resume
fails every time. The video never initializes. By the flashing
keyboard lights, I guess it's a kernel panic. It fails from the Live
CD and from a fresh install.

Here is my debug so far.

Install all updates (3.2 kernel, nouveau driver)
Reboot
Try suspend = fails

Install Ubuntu's linux-generic-lts-quantal (3.5 kernel, nouveau driver)
Reboot
Try suspend = fails

Install nVidia's 304 driver
Reboot
Try suspend = fails

>From within X:
echo core > /sys/power/pm_test
echo mem > /sys/power/state
The system acts like it is going to sleep, and then wakes up a few
seconds later. dmesg shows:

press power to resume = fails

At this point I am stumped on how to debug. This is a "modern"
computer with no serial ports. It worked under Lucid, so I know it is
POSSIBLE.

Mobo: ASRock X58 single-socket
CPU: Westmere 6 core (12 hyperthreads) 3.2 GHz
RAM: 12 GB ECC
Disk: sda = Intel SSD, mounted on /
Disk: sdb = Intel SSD, not mounted
Disk: sdc = Seagate HDD, not mounted
Disk: sdd = Seagate HDD, not mounted
NIC = Onboard RTL8168e/8111e
Sound = EMU1212 (emu10k1, not even configured yet)
Video = nVidia GeForce 7600 GT
KB = PS2 (also tried USB)
Mouse = USB

I have not updated to a more current kernel than 3.5, but I will if
there's evidence that this is resolved. Any other clever trick to
try?
