What doesn't work, is it failing to suspend/resume or are events not 
working, or does it not report the battery etc.?

I have found that on my machine suspend/resume only works reliably with 
some kernels, I pass the acpi_os_name because it is "Linux" in the 
Fedora kernels, also I have to rmmod and modprobe battery before it will 
start detecting a battery present.

I'm guessing something before that point is causing confusion. Maybe 
post a little more of the input file for the gurus to examine.

FYI I have a laptop that now suspends and resumes, and reports battery 
info with Fedora Core 2 - but it was not easily achieved! Also I 
recompiled the kernel and patched the DSDT a few times but was not able 
to effect an improvement that way...
