On my laptop, the CentOS 5 LiveCD (version 5.00) suspend/hibernate 
function is not working either. The main difference between this LiveCD 
and the original distribution lies in these system files:
  - /etc/init.d/halt
  - /etc/init.d/kudzu
  - /etc/init.d/netfs
  - /etc/issue
  - /etc/sysconfig/network
  - /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
  - /initrd/linuxrc
  - /initrd/initrd/harddriveinstall
  - /initrd/initrd/info
  - /initrd/initrd/savestate

Maybe you could start your investigation there ...
