It doesn't work on a few systems. It seems to be an issue with some ACPI implementations. For example, I have the same problem on my T61 running amd64 GENERIC.MP... which is really annoying on a laptop without working suspend. I once even forgot to push the power button after shutting it down and it keept running in my laptop bag until the battery ran out... reyk
