Note that these issues (specifically hibernation) are very complex issues, affected by 1)Hardware 2)BIOS revision 3)Whether you are using apm or acpi 4)Whether you have a valid hibernation partition/file My Thinkpad (9.1 with an assortment of kernels, including Thomas's 6.5 and Danny's 0.19mdk) suspends successfully to ram (via Fn-F4) and *almost* makes it to disk (with pmsuspend) but X crashes on resume, but neither works using ACPI (although Thomas's 6.5 makes it furthest to disk - whereas the others show me an IBM/Thinkpad suspend-to-disk/resume-from-disk screen, and never get back to linux from it). So, it is more or less par for the course at present ... even on hardware IBM specifically supported (officially) under linux for quite a while.
