[resolved] Kernel 2.6.37.1 - laptop won't suspend

Greetings,
After the update to kernel26-2.6.37.1-1 (x86-64) my laptop won't suspend anymore. Downgrading to 2.6.37-6 solves the problem, but that obviously is not a permanent solution.
When I want to suspend to RAM via Gnome this is what happens:
The screen goes blank for a second, cracking noise from the speakers (normal) but then it just fires up again and leaves me where I started. After that it works perfectly normal.

In dmesg this process looks like this:
PM: Syncing filesystems ... done.
PM: Preparing system for mem sleep
Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.01 seconds) done.
PM: Entering mem sleep
Suspending console(s) (use no_console_suspend to debug)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Synchronizing SCSI cache
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Stopping disk
tpm_tis 00:0c: Operation Timed out
legacy_suspend(): pnp_bus_suspend+0x0/0xa0 returns -62
PM: Device 00:0c failed to suspend: error -62
PM: Some devices failed to suspend
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Starting disk
PM: resume of devices complete after 486.008 msecs
PM: Finishing wakeup.
Restarting tasks ... done.

I tried to find out what "Device 00:0c" is, but it does not show up in lspci.
Laptop is an Asus V1Sn with a Core2Duo 2.4GHz, Nvidia 9500M GS (proprietary driver from extra), OCZ Vertex 2 Extended 60GB, Intel 4965AGN Wifi and Intel Gigabit Ethernet.

Do you have any ideas on that?
Thank you in advance,
Sylence

Edit: sorry, must have been googling for the wrong stuff

Simple googling tells that it's a bug in new kernel:
