For what it's worth, this is exactly the behavior I get with suspend or
hibernate on my two (comparatively ancient) Thinkpads - a 760XD and a
380XD.  Suspend (or hibernate) won't work (the machine beeps at me) if
there's a card in a PCMCIA slot.  If I eject the card, suspend and
hibernate work fine.  This is true no matter what I do with
configurations. 

This isn't an issue for me, as when I'm putting the computer to sleep
I usually want to eject the PCMCIA ethernet card anyway, as it's the
dongle-less kind that sticks out of the side (Netgear 410TX).
