Quoting Patrick Gleichmann:
I don't think the boot time is that important. Just try to get S3/S4 running. I have a full gentoo distrib on my system, but it only takes about 12 sec. till I get a picture - thanks to suspend to disk. Suspend to Ram also works more or less, only the VGA output doesn't function.
For resuming from S3 (suspend to ram) you need to enable a bios option to reinitialise VGA.
Thanks, even though I haven't tested it yet.

I thought S4 (suspend to disk) is not supported by C3 architecture due to a missing instruction/feature (pse or pse36) http://www.suspend2.net/ status
Software Suspend 2 is a patch against kernels 2.4 or 2.6, that adds features to the swsusp code present in the legacy 2.6 kernel only. See http://www.suspend2.net/features
Patrick should explain what versions he uses (kernel, kernel parameters, hibernate script, etc.) I personnally experimented with swsusp from the 2.6 branch on an old laptop (Vaio, broken ACPI), and it began to work a bit reliably with kernel 2.6.10.
I just use a plain 2.6 kernel w/o additional patches, so my S4 mode is done using "swsusp". No unusual kernel parameters.
I posted my scripts a while ago on the VDR-Portal - sorry the comments are in german: http://www.vdr-portal.de/board/thread.php?threadid=29624
Some parts of the script are responsible for a automatic reboot after a timer change to set the alarm clock using NVRAM. After the reboot the script sends the machine to sleep.
