OK, I've got some more info. I compiled the kernel after undefing the line about interrupts (slips my mind what it is at the moment) and after defining debugging.
This makes standby work but suspend does not.
Interestingly enough, when I do a standby, I get in the log:
APM BIOS received system standby notify APM BIOS received system standby resume notify
If I use apm --suspend, I get only the following line:
APM BIOS received normal resume notify
However, if I press the laptop's suspend/hibernate key, I get exactly the same messages I do when using standby (the two lines above). apm --standby likewise gives only one line: "APM BIOS received system standby resume notify". I am rather puzzled at the moment. Apparently the machine is mistaking suspend events for standbys at some point along the line.
