It also worked with 2.6.3 for me.

For lilo, you should add "acpi=on" to that line.

No, it just enables ACPI in general.

For me, acpid loads the requires modules, but I don't think they are
necessary for S3/S4 (I could give it a try, if you like). Main thing
seems to be enabling the ACPI stuff in general with passing "acpi=on" to
the kernel.
