i managed to compile kernel 2.6.8.1 following the steps written here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=170548

1) i needed to unpack the corresponding swsusp2 "current beta patch" 
and applying every patch in the package one by one, otherwise i got 
errors 
2) after that i applied the acpi patch
3) i had to deactivate "suspend-to-disk support" in the kernelconfig,
otherwise i got errors during compilation. (why?)

but now i can use the hibernate script and it seems to work well.
hope this helped someone.
greetings
