Yank out the battery, stuff in the drive -- that's it. 2.6.15-gentoo-r1 
kernel (libata patch for the DVD-drive)

kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.15-gentoo-r1 acpi_sleep=s3_bios pci=noacpi
                                  libata.atapi_enabled=1

... from grub.conf is perhaps the most relevant part. No other magic 
(ibm-acpi 0.12a).
