I had more or less the same experience with my Sony Picturebook C1VFK.
Curiously my WiFi card keeps flashing, but I'm not able to access the laptop
from another machine.
I wondered if it was something to do with the software suspension module
that I included in the config,
but I haven't got round to testing it without that yet.

It doesn't worry me too much, as 2.4.24 works perfectly.
My laptop stays up under 2.6.0 for just over 2 hours.
I suspect the time might be always the same,
but haven't tested that.
