Its /proc/acpi/sleep and this will not work for you on 2.4 kernels
(echo 3 > ... is S3 mode and echo 1 > ... is S1 mode). S1 and S3 modes
are only implemented on 2.6 and are still troublesome on some machines.
The only way to suspend on 2.4 is using swsusp2.

What version did you use? (send the output of cat
/proc/swsusp/debug_info).
Up to what point does the suspend process go? Any error messages on the
screen or in /var/log/(syslog|kern.log|messages). Did you append the
line resume2=swap:/dev/<swap partition> to the kernel (using lilo/grub
or whatever you are using?)
