ThinkPads, by default, suspend when you shut the lid. You can probably change it in the BIOS, and if not, in Windows (if you still have it installed). BTW, since you're using a ThinkPad, you might want to look at the tpctl and tpctl-modules-source packages. It's configuration tools for ThinkPads, which may or may not work on your particular model. You'll need to install tpctl-modules-source first, build and install the modules, and then you can install tpctl.

If you want to try ACPI, though, beware that kernel support for it is not as mature as for APM, and it may not work as well. >> Problem #3 This is the real blocking issue.

As Heather suggests, make-kpkg can help reduce headaches. "kernel-package" is the name of the package you should install. Then "man make-kpkg".
