Try uncommenting the last line in /etc/sysconfig/suspend.  This enables
suspend to disk... On some of the laptops I've seen this works where

Yes, I tried to uncomment that, but it didn't change anything (unsurprisingly, since the previuos line says that it is the default anyway)

suspend to RAM (the default) doesn't. (and this one was a Toshiba, the
model escapes me.)  Make sure you also put a line in lilo.conf in the
append section that says resume=/dev/hdxx   where xx is the letter and

pmsuspend told me to do so, which I promptly did

number of your swap partition, and rerun lilo. OH yeah... make sure
swapsize > ramsize

yes, the swap partition almost doubles the amount of ram (pmsuspend checks the available size anyway). Anyway this isn't a problem for me since I never use suspend, not even in windows where, supposedly (but I'm not sure), works, I just checked it to see if acpi was working, in order to make a whitelist. The rest of acpi seems to be working fine (I can see the battery status for example). Also, I reported the sound problem because I think it could be useful to put in the errata.

Oh, another thing: I installed bootsplash (which I usually remove) just
to see how it is working, well, it isn't. I can see that the image has
been appended to the initrd (though uncompressed, i.e. the mkinitrd
script first compresses it and then appends the image uncompressed) but
dmesg tells me that the kernel couldn't find a valid bootsplash signature.
