I'm in a similar situation (suspending doesnt work usefully in 2.4), sp
I'm using bleeding edge Planet. FWIW, its working very well as long as I
temporarily disable the CPU frequency sclaing features (I have a script to
do it).

I've also installed FC2 on my studio desktop machine (I was feeling daring
:) and thats running well too. A bit better than it was in 2.4 infact.
It's an Athlon + via chipset + nvidia + hammerfall.

For people playing with the IRQ threading stuff or using laptops I have a
script that tries to intelligently turn on/off the 2.6 realtime features:
