Thanks for the tip, fortunately I don't have any SCSI or SATA disks. 
Unfortunately, I still don't
know how to do this. Is there an utility to put PC into sleep/suspend ? 
I know I can switch
to various S modes using /proc entry, but what about all the peripherals 
and user mode apps ?
I would venture that there has to be some kind of subsystem in user mode 
to take care of
all this. I probably did not phrase my question right, but when I Asked 
if ACPI suspend/sleep
status is stable enough I was actually referring to the whole subsystem, 
not just kernel
support.

Thanks a lot.
