oh - don't mistake my suggestion of a workaround as a solution to any 
problem.  i'm not diagnosing why his other suspend/hibernate options 
don't work, just pointing out how i got that feature to work for me.

that's on my modern hardware (2 machines with p4x3.2s and BIOSes which 
definitely support ACPI 2.0).  on my old hardware suspend and hibernate 
work fine.

so far that kind of thing seems to sum up my entire linux experience 
pretty well.  :)
