I tried this, but saw no effect with either kernel.
Kernel 2.6.16-1.2133_FC5 still sleeps and awakens correctly.
Kernel 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5 sleeps, but awakens with a frozen X display
and keyboard.

I also tried *removing* other boot options - rhgb quiet vga=792 -
while adding acpi_sleep=s3_bios.  That also made no difference, except
for the larger console font size.

Thank you for the suggestion.
