My system is called a VAIO FXA47 in the United States (I can't locate the name of its European counterpart).
I don't believe the problem has to do w/ ACPI. I had to rebuild the kernel to remove the local APIC in order to fix another problem (system locking upon reboot), and while I was at it I shut off support for ACPI.

Well, Sony do make a lot of different laptops under the name VAIO, many
with different chipsets and BIOSes. It might help to identify your model
more accurately. (Suspend works fine under APM mode on *my* VAIO).
