>From my experience it may depend on the hardware you use. For example,
on one of my laptops suspending worked ootb, on the other I have to
switch off the wake on lan functionality in bios (otherwise it wasn't
even able to properly power off), while on my wife laptop it's pretty
random thing - suspending work most the times, but sometimes it just
not. If you have particular hw (like Sony Vaio laptops) there is a need
to pass "acpi_sleep=nonvs" to the kernel to make it work.
Hope that helps.
