My suspend to ram/disk used to work fine, but overnight, it stopped. It is not an update issue since, I was able to suspend after the last update. I decided to update today hoping that it is going to solve the problem, but the problem persist.
Here is what happens:
$ sudo pm-suspend
or
$ sudo pm-hibernate
The computer suspends faster than usual, as if it does not take the time to complete the suspend procedure. When I turn the computer on, it starts to boot instead of resuming from suspend. In the case of hibernate, this is clearly obvious. Normally it is suppose to take 10-30 s. to save the memory data to the swap, but this time the computer shuts fast (1-2s.), and I doubt that all the data is saved to swap.
Here are the logs for each case (/var/log/pm-suspend.log):

This seems to be too few information to pin point the exact cause of the problem.
What should I do to troubleshoot this problem ?

It's strange that there doesn't seem to be an obvious cause for why resuming has broken for you (such as an update). Maybe you've already had a look, but the pm-utils wiki page has some suggestions for the problem you're having.
Offline
My linux installation is actually on a harddrive using SATA on a desktop. I decided to remove this harddrive and put it into an external usb enclosure. I booted this linux installation on my laptop. When doing suspend, it works as it should, which let me think this is probably not a software issue.
If it is a hardware malfunction, which hardware malfunction can be responsible of an incomplete suspend procedure as described earlier?
