Well I want to start with a little apology... After doing some more test and stumbling by chance on my real problem it turns out the system did not suspend because flgrx module were not compiled for that kernel. Somehow, dkms no longer generate module automatically when installing a new kernel. Will have to see why later. So I went back and tried all the latest kernel of 2.6.38, 2.6.37, 2.6.35 and 2.6.32 with the fglrx module manually compiled and the system suspends without any problem. Now this brings up the fact that there should really have been some sort of message in the log somewhere showing the gpu hanging was causing the system to not suspend but I couldn't find anything. Will look later what happened to dkms. Sorry to have wasted people's time, never thought missing the fglrx module could have caused that. I seem to think that it wasn't like that at one point, i.e. you could still suspend without the flgrx kernel module, but maybe I'm wrong. So for me this issue is resolved. Perhaps the other people can verify if that was the problem, not sure if there's equivalent module shoud be generated by dkms for intel/nvidia gpu.
