On my TP560 I had one thing bugging me for a long time -- if IRQ 9 was made available to the pcmcia-cs package, then at some point machine refused to hibernate. Not really predictable, e.g. it would happily hibernate 20 times and then suddenly refuse. Usually just when I was in *real* hurry :-)
So, you might take a look at that.
And BTW, for the ThinkPad 560 owners: anybody got suspend to work (not hibernation, not standby, SUSPEND == fn-f4) ? My machine w/Linux happily suspends and then never wakes up. I can open&close the screen, tap the keys, etc, no go. Nada. Have to disconnect AC and remove the batteries.
