I updated to A04 before building this laptop, so that is probably the
reason mine is working.

Try doing:
echo /sbin/suspend2ui_text > /proc/suspend2/userui_program
echo 1 > /proc/suspend2/do_suspend

On my laptop, that'll suspend to disk, and poweroff. Upon booting,
it'll drop me right back where I left off.

I dumped those commands into a script I added to /etc/acpi/actions
that gets called when an acpi sleep event is generated, which is what
hitting the Fn + Esc keys do on the keyboard.

Try updating to A04, I think it'll solve your problems.

Oh, and my lilo.conf is very simple, I don't use an initrd or pass any
suspend2 options. Suspend2 is compiled into the kernel, with only the
swapwriter configured. The swap partition is also hard coded, and I
don't have the "Allow Keep Image Mode" option checked.
