Suspend works only when boot USB stick is pulled out -2.1rc2

Hi,
I am new to Porteus, tried Ubuntu (hdd install), Puppy Slacko (USB) and Upup Raring (USB) before. Everything works well, including HP buttons for WiFi On/Off, Brightness and Volume controls. I saved my customizations to module and Porteus is booting very quickly.
I am booting Porteus 2.1rc2/Mate on hp 2530p (4GB RAM) from USB (/dev/sdb1 - FAT32) with cheatcodes copytoram, changes=EXIT:/porteus/porteussave.dat
My problem 1: Running on laptop, I would like to occasionally suspend it, but when I click
Menu -> Shutdown -> Suspend
nothing happens, unless I pull out USB. Then OS suspends. It wakes fine, all my apps are in modules which are loaded to RAM, so I can continue to use it. However, with this approach, /mnt/sdb1 is empty after wakeup, I cannot use it anymore.
My problem 2: Even without suspending laptop, I would like to remove USB stick after boot, and pop it in only to save changes at shutdown or manually.
What would be the right approach then? How can I remove USB cleanly, and retain ability to save changes later?
