I did it and it went to hibernation, and then reboot. So I assume the
problem is not with the kernel.

I get that too.

I changed to "shutdown" and went to hibernation with :
echo -n "disk" > /sys/power/state

Everything went fine. The laptop went to hibernation and didn't
reboot. So I boot and things went well as they should. Now I have to
find out how to make it persistent (or to which script should I add
the last echo).

Thanks for the help, my problem is solved, and as you said before, it
could be a buggy firmware.
