APM has been deprecated for years and years. I'm surprised that
worked at all. You're supposed to do

echo "mem" > /sys/power/state

...or something like that. I don't have my laptop here so I can't
copy/paste the ACPI setup that's worked for me for a long time.

I'd boot a rescue CD and look at rc.sysinit near line 1333.
/bin/usleep doesn't exist on this Ubuntu box, and it doesn't
exist on these Redhat boxes.
