This was my fault(c)(TM) with s4bios. A fix is the first
patch send by the original poster of this thread (or
one I have send to Andy some times ago which does the
same fix anyway).
But I have more concern with the second patch.
It break the CONFIG_ACPI_SLEEP option.

At this time, this option is always 'yes', but this may change
in the future, and we want to be able to enter S5 even if this
option is off (as in 2.5).
