ACPI on Clevo/Kapok/Eurocom/Sager D500 anyone?

(Also X-posted to c.o.l.p)

Hi Folks..
I have a Eurocom D500 P4 2.4 HT Radeon 9600 laptop also marketed by various companies such as Clevo, Kapok,Sager and a couple others.
It's a beautiful fast laptop but for the life of me I cannot get ACPI sleep/suspend/hibernate to work..other ACPI functions (battery, buttons,temperature etc are fine)
I'm currently running 2.6.2, as SMP is a no-no with suspend/sleep I run it with nosmp. Any suspend/sleep/hibernate funtions even from runlevel 1 with no wifi, network or daemons running start to do something but then I quickly returns (alive) to the prompt. Here's my lspci:

While I'm at it (OT I know, sorry) but I can also not enable DMA for /dev/hda

/dev/hda:

Model=TOSHIBA MK6022GAX, FwRev=HB002A, SerialNo=83OJ1455T Config={ Fixed }

PIO modes:  pio0 pio1 pio2 pio3 pio4

UDMA modes: udma0 udma1 *udma2 udma3 udma4 udma5
AdvancedPM=yes: unknown setting WriteCache=enabled

Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Jim
