I'm installing vanilla-sources-2.6.11.10 now. After emerging kernel
sources, go to www.suspend2.net and get
http://www.suspend2.net/downloads/all/software-suspend-2.1.8-for-2.6.11.tar.bz2
(stable)
or
http://www.suspend2.net/downloads/all/software-suspend-2.1.8.7-for-2.6.11.8.tar.bz2
(unstable).
Unpack it somewhere i.e. /root/software-supend then go to
/usr/src/linux-2.6.11.10 and use: /root/software-suspend/apply.
 This will patch the kernel. Then "make menuconfig" and choose whatever
you need,  save and "make ; make modules_install".
 Copy the kernel and System.map to /boot, edit grub.conf:
        kernel (hd0,X)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.11.10 root=/dev/hdaX
psmouse.proto=imps resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX
video=vesafb:ywrap,vga=0x317,nomtrr

 Also, I don't use kernel IBM ACPI option, but I did used: emerge
ibm-acpi  + radeontool  hibernate and laptop-mode-tools (take care with
HDD spindown options - I've disabled that features as they are dangerous ).
 I don't use genkernel or initrd usually, but now I have initrd for
bootsplash.

 I hope it helps!
