Laptop fails to suspend: fileshare related?

After initial teething problems with suspend & resume, it seemed to be working fine.  Every so often, though, it would just fail to suspend and return to the desktop.  Then, I think it went away, probably because I was using acpid to control the laptop lid button and was manually stopping netmount first.  After I upgraded to KDE4, I returned control to KDE because acpid's logging spam is quite annoying.  (There is another way to hook into the suspend action via scripts even when KDE is activating it, which I should look into.)  I think that I have finally found the cause: unreachable file shares.  I need to do some more testing, but my suspicion is strong.

Testing hassles: stable now

A month or so ago, both my desktop and laptop had independent heart attacks, so I downgraded them from testing to stable.  Was a pity to lose that cutting-edge and slightly unstable toy to play with, but a relief to now be able to get other things done.

The desktop still has a number of testing and bleeding edge packages installed, namely mesa and related ebuilds.

The laptop was exhibiting some weird behaviour--both Firefox and Amarok weren't working--so I reformatted it.  :)  It works fine now.

I guess I'm going to focus more on the stable experience of Gentoo from here on!
