Jérôme this bug isn't related to a given version of the kernel. However I can still answer the uname request:
Linux dell630 2.6.20-16-generic #2 SMP Thu Jun 7 20:19:32 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

On the other hand, the 2 remaining requests are absolutely not relevant. The problem is neither hardware related nor a bug per se. It is just that it would be really, really nice to be reminded -in one way or another- when you resume from a suspend to disk to select in GRUB the previous kernel. Up to now, the new kernel version silently ignores the swapped memory and the plain result is very similar to a hard reset.

At the kernel level, it'd be nice to have a "safe_resume" option that, when present, would stop the kernel from loading if a resume image is present in swap partition and versions don't match.
