the screen appears for a very short time and gets dark again and the led of the hdd blinks a few times. nothing than a reboot helps here.
Same problem... But not only reboot works... (but it is faster) - you can just try to press on/off key for a few times (usualy on ~10-th press it'll start normaly). But delay between you can press the key again is around 10 sec....

ok i think i managed to find some more about the error:
first i found the config file which automounts the internal hdd. take a look at /etc/pcmcia/ide.opts
in there you have to look for the devices which have the following mount points (here it is called MOUNTPT:
MOUNTPT="/mnt/ide"
MOUNTPT="/mnt/ide2"
MOUNTPT="/mnt/ide3"
for this devices change:
DO_MOUNT="y"
to
DO_MOUNT="n"
as i said before you should make this just for ide to ide3 else you also have to mount the cf card manually.
ok now... if you did turn of this DO_MOUNT than the hdd doesnt mount itself after a suspend. so if you turn on your device you can turn it off again without unmounting it again (else this damn bug appears).
what i also found out:
if you get into suspend the screen first gets black (nearly!) and after about 2 seconds it really turns off.
now how did i found this out: yesterday evening i wanted to load the battery again so i plugged in the connector. then i suspended and suddenly on one corner of the display i saw something which looked like the icon of aterm (but the screen was black and it looked like the picture of the screen burnt in the display... like it was on older monitors). you can see here a screenshot of my desktop.

i couldnt belive myself and thought that it might be a fingerprint of myself... so i cleaned the screen fast to see if it really was just a fingerprint... but it wasnt... it really looked like this aterm icon on my desktop. suddenly it disappeared and the orange led shortly interrupted the light... then i wasnt able to see the icon anymore. so i got out of suspend again and turned it off again... and again it was here. looking more concentrated on the screen i was able to see also the icons on the left and the panel... and again it dissapeared after a short time.
you can test it yourself. take a lamp and light on the screen (but dont take to strong light). then get into suspend and slightly twist the zaurus around (so that the light of the lamp doesnt dazzle you)... for some seconds you will be able to see icons of the screen etc (but it is very dark and hard to see... like if you make your console transparency very dark). suddenly everthing will dissappear.
now ive tested around and came to the following conclusion: if you get into suspend and right afterwards (1sec later) you turn the device on again you will have this bug again that the screen will appear just for a very short time and than dissappears again. i think this is because if you turn off the device (suspend) the screen darkens but the suspend happens just after some seconds... so you turn on the device which IS ALREADY/STILL TURNED ON but with darkened screen... and then this bug appears.
if you turn off your device and wait about 3 sec until you turn it on again you should have no problems again about the suspend (considering that you turned off this automount of the hdd before). you can try this also. turn the device off and after some seconds on again... try this as often you want... you will get no problems. and now try to turn off the device and shortly afterwards on again... and there it is again, this bug.
and as you said that after about 10 tries to turn on the device it should work again:
it sometimes worked on my device also... but not always. but the last to times i managed to turn on the device by clicking the "home" button... this worked for me better. but after turning off this automount and waiting some seconds after a suspend to turn it on i never had this problems again.
