Without a "resume=UUID=<...>" update to my menu.lst file (for grub), none of this worked. (Alas, maybe one could do a "resume=/dev/hdxx" and it would probably work, too.)

Note that I can only get this to work for a 2.6.17.14 kernel running in Edgy; the standard 2.6.18.1 edgy kernel panics for both suspends and hibernates on my Thinkpad T41 2378DHU with 2GB of memory. The 2.6.17.14 kernel suspend and hibernate works like a charm...if I go around updating the 3 different places one must update for the swap pointers (/etc/fstab, /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume, and /boot/grum/menu.lst) after the dapper-to-edgy upgrade (...sigh...).

HOWEVER, 2.6.17.14 takes a full 3 minutes to boot up...UGH! 2.6.18.1 takes about 20 seconds to boot up on the same machine (great!), but experiences the kernal panics per the suspend/hibernate, and all I'm chaning between .17.14 and .18.1 runs is the kernel choice in grub--it's all run from the same machine.

Anybody know what gives?

I've spent several hours tonight trying to debug this. I'm not that pleased that edgy apparently didn't seem to get sufficient laptop test coverage, but I'm here to help with the effort.

Please let me know how I can help (more details needed for my system?), and thanks for any feedback.
