ACPI, 5.4-R, and Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100

Anyone out there have any positive experience
with ACPI suspend/resume on a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 ?

After finding that ACPI suspend/resume works with my wife's
SatPro 4600 (also 5.4-R), I recently gave it a go on my 6100.

Alas, an attempt to suspend (acpiconf -s 3) resulted in an
apparently hung console -- no keyboard response, while the
(text) console display stayed on, and the disk activity LED
flashed briefly every couple seconds or so.
Then, after about a minute of this "hang",
the system appeared to "suspend" OK
(all power off, slow orange power LED flash).
When the power button was next actuated,
the system seemed to come back,
but complained about an apparent error in /etc/rc.resume,
which didn't exist before while APM suspending/resuming
successfully.
A quick "more /etc/rc.resume" showed it to be corrupted
with gibberish, so I did a quick reboot to single-user mode
and fsck'ed the root filesystem.

The system came back OK, and continues to behave with
APM compiled in the kernel.

Any advice/pointers regarding ACPI on this Toshiba
will be appreciated.
