If you mean ACPI S3, read the kernel help for the ACPI sleep support.
At least in the 2.6 kernel, it is marked as experimental. Furthermore,
I found this at the end of the help page: "This option is not
recommended for anyone except those doing driver power management
development". I don't know if this is different from the 2.4 ACPI
implementation, though.
