I was confused too, Ranxerox, but just the lines with ## are real comments, lines with a single # are used by the interpreter.

So the procedure that worked for me (ThinkPad X31) is this:

1. Backup "/boot/grub/menu.lst"

2. Open "/boot/grub/menu.lst" in an editor ("sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst")

3. Change the line "# defoptions=quiet splash" to "# defoptions=quiet splash acpi_sleep=s4_nohwsig". These are the default options for each kernel in the boot menu.

4. Run "sudo update-grub"

5. Reboot and test

I would not advise to update the BIOS, because, as for me, my wifi-card would not work anymore (my BIOS is hacked, because IBM implemented a whitelist in the BIOS, so only som wifi-cards are working).
