suspend worked with the default script from acpid for me fine (i also use
only XFS). Make sure you boot your kernel with the acpi_sleep parameter..

        acpi_sleep=     [HW,ACPI] Sleep options
                        Format: { s3_bios, s3_mode }
                        See Documentation/power/video.txt

s3_bios worked for me.
