Thanks James, but even with acpi working, it still hangs.
 Even though I have deleted /etc/acpi/events/lid, it still crashes when I 
close the lid.
Here is a snippet from dmesg when acpid loads up:

ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT0] (battery present)
ACPI: Battery Slot [BAT1] (battery present)
ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (on-line)
ACPI: Processor [CPU0] (supports C1 C2, 2 performance states, 8 throttling 
states)
ACPI: Thermal Zone [THM] (73 C)
ACPI: Lid Switch [LID]
ACPI: Power Button (CM) [PBTN]
ACPI: Sleep Button (CM) [SBTN]


How is ACPI configured ?
I mean it looks like its stlll configured to do something when the lid is 
closed, even though there is nothing in /etc/acpi/events/ besides power.
The bios is set to do nothing if the lid is closed, and the AC power is 
plugged in.....

I'm getting close to giving up here..... :-(

Mof.
