That was it! I had a keyboard wake-up set in the BIOS. Disabled,
suspend-to-ram appears to work. 
However, when I try to resume, the same behaviour occurs again. I
briefly see some disk activity, and then a reboot. Note that the screen
never comes out of power-save mode during this time. 

wake_delay = 0
wake_alarm_dir gave an empty line

The kernel is new, yes. This is the first time I'm using TuxOnIce on my
desktop; its working fine on my laptop ;)
Other than suspend the kernel seems to work just the same. 

So it appears the root issue is somewhere in the resume step; which at
one point triggers a reboot. 
What else could I try?

Kind regards,

Hendrik
