OS X Lion 10.7 Sleep Issue

Installed Lion this morning and the only issue that I have found thus far is sleep.


I use an external display as well as the laptop display. When I close my MacBook lid and wait several minutes, I do not get the sleep mode winking LED and my second display does not go into standby, probably because the Mac has not entered sleep mode.


When I raise the lid, my laptop display appears to have been in standby and the Mac looks to be doing a device discovery. After the discovery, the Mac display is normal but all the apps from my second display are now on the Mac display.


Anybody have a clue as to the cause or is Lion just broke?


Cheers

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7)

Well I have a case open with Apple. After some initial try this and try that, it was suggested that I reinstall Lion which I did. Of course nothing has changed.


Closing the MacBook Pro lid merely moves the laptop screen to my second display and the computer never goes to sleep.


Disk utility still says wrong version.


Console still crashes.


I did learn how to boot to the recovery system where that disk utility works.
