Different kernel releases may have different acpi support/
implementantions. I mean, maybe the Gentoo kernel you were using at that
time was not able to detect the full capabilities of your board and just
enabled "suspension" and not "hibernation".
Anyway, I'm not sure how to force acpi being "selective" for detecting
one suspension method and avoid the other :-?

How about hidding the whole Powerdevil applet? If you don't need it at all
(it seem you are not usually switching between power management profiles)
and makes you click something you want to avoid, I see no reason to
having it there.
