I don't know how is Suspend2 being termed stable.
For me yet till now, only the in-kernel suspend code has been working stable for months.
With every new release of Suspend2 I try, it fails. Probably it needs more testing before a merge

There is plenty of documentation on the Suspend2 web site (http://suspend2.net), and also a mailing list available (also accessible through the site). If you ask on there, I'm sure we'll be able to help you.

Problems almost always related to a complete or partial lack of driver support in some area. The most common areas are USB and DRI/DRM. If USB is built as modules and unloaded while suspending, and DRI is disabled, you can work around the issue. I know and agree that these are not the best solutions and you shouldn't have to do them, but I can't fix the drivers myself.

If your issue turns out to be a real suspend2 bug, let me know and I'll seek to fix it. I can't do so, however, if I don't know there's a problem.

Hope this helps.
