2 thoughts:

1)Try putting root on a CF card, and buy a 1GB card + CF->mini-IDE 
adapter for about $30. Then replace your HDD with it.

OR

2)You need to edit your suspend scripts to allow the usb key to be 
unmounted before suspend, and remounted thereafter. Obviously, you can't 
do that with / on the usb key. So, try putting / on a ramdisk.

A possible example: the Knoppix "toram" option does exactly that.
