Greetings--

I believe that I had the same problem, but with a no-brand laptop.
This is clearly a bug in the BIOS; just because a suspend event is
rejected once does not mean it should always be rejected.

I was able to solve the problem for the most part by *disconnecting*
AC power and then reconnecting it.  That seemed to reset the BIOS
enough so that suspends worked again.  Perhaps that will help you.
