Ciao Andre',
at that point in time I was ONLY interested into sleep to RAM and=20
therefore did not configure any hibernation setup. So the machine went=20
to sleep and woke up with no problems after a short while. If I let more=20
time pass probably the BIOS triggered the hibernate attempt but that was=20
totally unconfigured and therefore the machine locked into some=20
neverland state ...

Now removing that setting from BIOS enables me to suspend to RAM for an=20
indefinite amount of time.

In parallell I have installed and configured swsusp2 which I now use to=20
hibernate on my swap partition and that works very very well and=20
therefore will seldom use the sleep to RAM anyomre.

Ciao,
Bob
