alexander leidinger informd me that the cause for this might be the fact that
the kernel modules might be loaded in single user mode, but they're not being
accessed.

since i read somewhere that snd_hda might be causing problems with acpi i
stopped the musicpd daemon and unloaded snd_hda ans sound. doing 'acpiconf -s1'
didn't stall the system (i set debug.acpi.suspend_bounce=1) and my system came
backup again. so snd_hda/sound are defanetly causing problems for acpi.

however they are not the only modules causing problems. after the system came
back the following message was printed repeatedlyy to the console:

swap_pager: indefinite wait buffer ...

although my usb keyboard was working i couldn't perform certain actions:

1) switching to a differnt tty worked, but i couldn't log in (input was simply
   ignored)
2) i could enter chars on ttyv0, but ctrl+alt+del didn't do anything so i had
   to do a hard reset.

cheers.
