Almost worked. I saw several acpi power state errors as the system
suspended. On resume, the system came back up, but the display
remained off (no backlight). I was able to type 'shutdown -r now' and
do a clean reboot. Of course, the number of differences between single
and multi-user are substantial, but this eliminates a LOT of things.

I then tried coming up to multi-user, but not starting X (Gnome).
Again, it suspended and resumed with no display. My network came up
and I sshed into the system from my phone. Then I got an interrupt
from my greyhounds. Time to brush their teeth. I was away from the
laptop for about 10 minutes. When I came back, it was dead. My ssh
session was hung and I could no longer ping it. :-(

Weird. It's getting really close, but not quite. I suspect that the
video ties into it in some way. I also mount a couple of FUSE NTFS
partitions when I start X (Gnome auto-mounts them). When I suspend in
Gnome, the network never comes back up and the power LED pulses just
like it does while suspended, so it really does not finish the resume.
I think I can now eliminate the wireless (iwn), at least.

Thanks for the suggestions!
