Hi; not sure if it will help you, but I have been using vanilla-sources since forever (sys-kernel/vanilla-sources-2.6.30.3, since Aug 29, 2009), and my laptop suspends and resumes pretty much always without any issue. I don't use genkernel: I manually configure and compile my kernels since always, and I use dracut for my initramfs. Anyhow; suspend/resume should be orthogonal to an initramfs, since the first has nothing to do with the second. I don't know about hibernate (it's been years since I hibernated my laptop), but it should be similar, I think. In my laptop, GNOME does the suspend for me, but it calls pm-suspend (I believe) from pm-utils.
