I've had the same problem with hibernation on my laptop, and solved by 
adding the option :

/resume=/dev/SWAPPARTITION/

to the linux line in my grub.cfg (that would be kernel line in menu.lst 
if you're using the old grub).
I didn't have problems with suspend though.

Might also want to try adding the /`resume/` hook to your 
mkinitcpio.conf and rebuild your initrd.
