2.6.17.2 was released yesterday, so there should be a new fedora kernel in 
the next day or so. 2.6.17.2 has one suspend/resume fix for ohci1394 
(Firewire). Although the symptoms on resume are not the same as yours, if 
you have firewire it /might/ fix it.    Are you already removing ohci1394 
before suspend?

Those gremlins like to hang out in the suspend/resume code.
