It seems there's a bug affecting all Asustek mb that prevents to suspend/resume successfully. Following the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingKernelSuspendHibernateResume let's gather some more information:
Did the machine break while going to sleep or waking up? -> Sleep
Is it reproducible? -> It occurs always
Did it work before? -> never on this machine and karmic alpha 2+ (linux was not installed before. It works on other operating system)
Do you end up with flashing caps-lock or similar? -> No. Usually when suspending/hibernating the power led turns from blue to orange. On linux, it's always blue and disk is not suspened/stopped, only screen and then the system locks. No effect when you press space/cap lock/ etc...Only pressing power for some seconds until force power-off is forced)
Files and test added on another comment.
