You may apply on top of your 2.6.8.1 kernel:
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/people/francois/misc/20040815-2.6.8-via-velocity-test.patch

It will sync the via-velocity driver with the one in 2.6.8-rc4-mm1.
It is supposed to fix this issue.

Once the patch is applied, it will be interesting to know if CONFIG_SUPEND
makes a difference or not.
