Running ArchLinux and GNOME 3 on a Thinkpad X220.

When I suspend my laptop it goes into sleep mode and the LED ring around the power button fades in and out.

When a suspend fails, the LED ring and the screen is on but I can't do anything. My only recovery is to do a hard reset.

This only happens 33 - 50% of the time within the last few months, but it never happened a year ago.

How can I debug / fix this issue?

    What machine is this? All up to date? Some BIOS issue maybe? – vonbrand Mar 5 '13 at 19:23

As usual, Netconsole can be tried as a debuging tool and Tuxonice as an alternative which (hopefully) can overcome the issue with hardware you use.
