Yes, for me this issue was related to using the PAE kernel! I have done lots of experimenting with this, and my T500 is now happily suspending and resuming. Can't be 100% sure of course, but by the looks of it, *everything* works!
To get a working system, I have applied the following fixes:
* "duct-tape" fix to switch to TTY1 on suspend (#35)
* disabled security chip in BIOS (#154)
* switched to generic (non-PAE) kernel (#156)
I'll come back if I am wrong, but for now I'm happy!
