Recently I got a new laptop, a fantastic HP EliteBook 8540p, very beautiful machine!
Of course, I formatted everything and installed the fresh Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx!
I got some problems with suspending/hibernating and I found that it is due to a not very good support of USB3 ports.
As a temporary fix, waiting for better modules, I wrote this little script... hope it helps!

#!/bin/sh

# Fix USB3 suspend and hibernate problems

case $1 in
hibernate)
modprobe -r xhci
;;
suspend)
modprobe -r xhci
;;
thaw)
modprobe xhci
;;
resume)
modprobe xhci
;;
*)  echo "USB3 fix script: wrong argument!"
;;
esac

You have to save it into a file in the  /etc/pm/sleep.d/ folder, let's say you call this file 01fix_usb3.
Put executable rights to it:

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/01fix_usb03

...and that's all!
Suspend/hibernate will work immediately, or at least it did on my laptop!

Let me know if you have problems or suggestions!
