Hi!

These are kernel options.

You'll find a line in /boot/grub/menu.lst that says:

# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro

It will be similar to my line. Yes, it is commented out, leave it so. 
But add your new options to the end of it.

# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro acpi_sleep=s3_bios

Then run
$ sudo update-grup
and reboot.

HTH.
