sorry, right. wrong place to seek for the problem.
to answer your questions: I don't have backports or non-free
installed. will look into it. wanted to avoid doing a kernel but that
is looking more and more like the way to go.
I have it working now, even running my modprobe script on resume but
that's a kludge plus there are disturbing messages coming out of
dmesg.
thanks for the reply.

greetings!
I have installed David Hare's exe package on a new-ish Acer Aspire
725-0802 with AMD dual-core processor. I had some hiccups but things
seem settled for the most part though I'm not through quite yet!
anyway, I got hibernate/resume to work, almost. it resumes nicely except
for the usb drives.
what definitely doesn't reload is xhci. there apparently is a usb 3.0
port here and I can't figure out how to get it to wake up automagically
after hibernate. dmesg says something about 'timeout while waiting for a
slot' with respect to xhci_hcd.
I have wrestled things to a certain point where if I resume and run the
following, I get a port:
sudo /sbin/modprobe -r xhci
sudo /sbin/modprobe xhci
so either I would like to do without this expedient or I would like to
get resume to run it for me.
to get suspend working, I set up the disk to resume in initramifs and in
fstab. I don't have any other suspend tools installed to my knowledge.
I am also uneasy with this setup because it doesn't seem like safe
practices; I think the kernel is complaining about missing pages. not
sure of this yet.

Exegnu is straight Debian Squeeze, built from a clean debootstrap, with a
stock Debian kernel, with (not the entire metapackage) TDE installed. No core
stuff is altered from Squeeze. Whatever your DE, that is unlikely to cause
hibernate/resume issues.
A quick look through the search engines shows others with similar problems,
e.g. :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2011/02/msg01689.html
Most likely this is neither a bug from Exe nor TDE I have nothing that new
here to test that (and never actually used hibernate/resume) Squeeze is ~2
years old now, wheezy is coming soon
Have you tried the latest kernel from squeeze-backports?
firmware-linux-nonfree installed?
