I have exactly the same behaviour now with 2.6.4. Thus, I configured 
apmd to remove the yenta_socket module before suspend and insert it 
afterwards. But I'm not sure whether that really fixes the problem. I'd 
try to stop the pcmcia service before suspending (that service runs on 
my A30p only when I'm on the road, thanks to different runlevel 
configurations).
