I just looked at pm-suspend's source. This error message means that in /sys/power/state there's no mem present (try
'cat /sys/power/state'
to see what is supported).
$ cat /sys/power/state standby disk $
On my machine the above command returns: mem disk
So mem is indeed not present on your machine.
And is it a configuration problem or hardware inability?
The last thing you can try is try to reconfigure your BIOS. There are some settings (I have no desktop currently) that enable/disable S1/S2/S3 states and change ACPI/???'s version. Disable legacy USB support (be sure to have PS2 keyboard just in case) and... try... A friend of mine got his PC suspending to RAM after changing something in the BIOS, but I never asked what exactly. Luck.
