Good news: works for me. Either I have to disable vesafb *or* pass
acpi_sleep=s3_mode, but it works (2.5.59 on hp omnibook xe3).

There are some glitches, through. Sometimes it takes > 10 seconds
before the BIOS's progress bars shown (and I have powered down at
this point thinking machine is dead). And once it did save to disk but
did not power down after that.

Yes, plus you might want to add some printks to see where exactly it
dies.
