After I resume from S3 on my laptop, I see this message:

Can't open /dev/console. Error value was -14.

in the kernel logs and I can't see anything when I switch to a console from X, or when I shutdown/reboot. Anyone have an idea why this is happening?

Other than this, my box is behaving quite nicely with respect to suspend to RAM. Thanks to anyone who can help.

Which kernel?

What about S1?

What laptop is it?

Can you try without X?
