Not sure if pm-utils is configured on all distributions as it is in
Debian, but I have an /etc/pm/config.d/config (I think the executable bit
needs to be set) with the following contents:
S2RAM_OPTS="-f -s -p -v"

Not sure if this is still required or not (would require some tests), but
this way, I am able to suspend the box using s2ram.

Cheers,
