kernel 2.2.15pre15 and hibernation

I am currently using apmd 3.0final (the one that came with RedHat
6.2), and I am running the 2.2.15pre15 kernel on my laptop.

The problem is that I can 't get it to hibernate - neither using the
apm program or using the designated hotkey. The screen simply goes
blank, and then all I can do is reboot the machine.

The hibernate function works just fine under DOS and Windows. What can
I do to make it hibernate properly?

The laptop is a Targa Traveller 600 with a PhoenixBIOS NoteBIOS 4.0

Output from apm -v:

       APM BIOS 1.2 (kernel driver 1.12)

Since the screen goes blank, I thought it might be connected to the
fact, that I use the CESA framebuffer device, but I disabled it, and
the same thing still occurs.

Here are (what I believe to be) the relevant sections from the kernels
.config file:

CONFIG_APM=y
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_USER_SUSPEND is not set
CONFIG_APM_DO_ENABLE=y
CONFIG_APM_CPU_IDLE=y
# CONFIG_APM_DISPLAY_BLANK is not set
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_MULTIPLE_SUSPEND is not set
# CONFIG_APM_IGNORE_SUSPEND_BOUNCE is not set
# CONFIG_APM_RTC_IS_GMT is not set
# CONFIG_APM_ALLOW_INTS is not set
# CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF is not set

I have also tried setting CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF and then
recompiling my kernel, but it didn't help.
