Removing the 'resume' and 'resume_offset' from the boot line, and disabling ureadahead in /etc/init/ureadhead.conf makes the difference. Now, my ASUS G70 can boot in less that 2 min (about the same time before the upgrade to karmic). I'll investigate this issue further, to get back the hibernation functionality in karmic), but I'm closing this issue now.
