Did you compile your kernel with intel's latest ACPI patch ? If not, just
get it from
http://developer.intel.com/technology/iapc/acpi/downloads/acpi-20020404-2.4.18.diff.gz
you will have a full ACPI support.

AFAIK, there's no stuff to make linux hibernate. You can make your laptop
go to a sleep state, but it will probably freeze before reaching it
because it won't have all peripherals prepared to hibernate.
