Suspend/Hibernation is not working

I did everything mentioned in this topic, but suspend and hibernation is not working. I have Asus x58c.

When I try to use suspend (I hope it is suspend - I mean the process when your pc suspends to RAM and almost turns off the power), it suspends, but after resume,  after a while I get only black screen  with backlight on. In the process, there blinks some display, but it doesn't last long. Than I have to reboot the PC (I do it "blind" - I just switch to another console, login as root and then reboot).

When I hibernate the pc, it does a few-second hibernation (as described in the topic mentioned above) and immediately thaws.

I have
* added "resume=/dev/sda2" in /boot/grub/menu.lst to the "kernel /vmlinuz26 ..." line.
* changed HOOKS in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf according to the wiki article (I removed autodetect and added resume)
* fixed HAL (according to wiki)
* used the fix described in the topic mentioned above (the one with usb3)

And I hope I did it right.

Any ideas?
Thanks for reply.

I have changed my 01laptop-mode to

#!/bin/sh
#
# 99laptop-mode: Re-apply laptop mode tools settings

if [ -f /etc/pm/sleep.d/99laptop-mode ]; then
    continue
else
    case "$1" in
        hibernate|suspend)
            # Stopping is not required.
            ;;
        thaw|resume)
            # Make laptop mode tools forcibly re-apply the hardware settings
            # that laptop mode tools applies.
            if [ -e /usr/sbin/laptop_mode ] ; then
                (sleep 2s; /usr/sbin/laptop_mode auto force) &
            fi
            ;;
        *) exit $NA
            ;;
    esac
fi

Now there is an error in the log:

Module /etc/laptop-mode/modules/* is not executable.

I checked it, and the folder modules/ contains nothing.

Now I tried the other solution (delete the 00powersave) - also doesn't work.

Re: Suspend/Hibernation is not working

Try appending 'nomodeset' to your kernel parameters in /boot/grub/menu.lst. It seems to fix a lot of suspend/resume issues, at least until KMS works reliably.

I added it and rebooted. Than I tried suspend to RAM, it didn't worked. Than I tried suspend to disk - it worked! But only once. I tried it again without success. And after another reboot again, also without success...

It's weird.
