Problem with hibernate

[Cloud79]

I have gutsy installed on my lenovo x61 and an AMD x2 desktop. Both had problem with hibernating.

They didn't resume from hibernate. Got an error:
unable to find swap-space signature...

The fix for both was to add resume=/dev/<swappartition> to my grubs menu.lst.
To default options, like this

## additional options to use with the default boot option, but not with the
## alternatives
## e.g. defoptions=vga=791 resume=/dev/hda5
# defoptions=quiet splash resume=/dev/sda4


Maybe this will solve som hibernate problems for some people :)

My T61 will not hibernate. Suspend is working fine. But, I get an error when it tries to hibernate or it simply shuts off and I have to reboot.

Scratch that.

I just tried it so I could post the error messages and It rebooted asking for my password (screen similar to suspend) but only from the docking station.

When I try to hibernate from battery mode, the machine sort of hibernates and sort of shuts down. Upon awakening, it is in Grub selecting the OS. Once started, I get some white lines across the screen and it asks for my password.

Once we get to the desktop, there is an error stating that Hibernate failed. Then I don't seem to have an active network connection. A reboot fixes everything.

All and all, I am not complaining.

Hat's off to you developers.
