In /etc/grub.conf, add acpi=off to the kernel line, e.g.:

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-27.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdc=ide-scsi acpi=off

As for no keyboard or mouse after unsuspend, that's effectively
the same thing as a crash -- you can't access your computer
except remotely.  When showing my Windows-using friends
Linux, this does not go over well.  They used to be amaized that
I could go so long  between reboots on the laptop, now.....
