Yes that has worked, Thanks.

I will use this BIOS approach, until I update the kernel.

Using current the first time, I have to say: I am very impressed.
The suspend to RAM works like a charm, even in X11. The whole hardware
is supported out of the box. And fortunately there is not so much
software installed from pkgsrc that updating would become too
painful ;-)

Just for the records: the machine is a IBM R40 Laptop.
