I have a Thinkpad X22 here, and suspend and hibernate with APM seem to
work here. (I almost never use suspend, though, because hibernate on the
whole has been more reliable and it uses less battery.)

To get APM working, pass "acpi=off" to the kernel. For ecxample,
here's the relevant lines from my grub.conf:
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.14_FC3)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.14_FC3 ro root=LABEL=/ acpi=off
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.14_FC3.img

See above. APM is in there.

You'll probably need to install the source RPM. See the Fedora Core
3 release notes.
