Problem with Hibernation

[marsgorski]

Hi everyone. Ever since I upgraded to 10.10 about a week ago, my hibernation feature is not working. The computer (Dell Inspiron 1545) seems to go into hibernation without problems, but when I want to resume a get an error message saying

The system snapshot could not be read.
This might be a result of booting a wrong kernel or typing in a wrong passphrase.

You can continue to boot the system and lose the saved state or reboot and try again.

[Notice that you may not mount any filesystem between now and successful resume That would badly damage affected filesystem.]

Do you want to continue boot (Y/n)?

I answer yes to the question and Ubuntu boots up, without the windows I left open when I hibernated.

I saw some posts from people with similar problems (here, and here), but the difference is that they are not able to boot into Ubuntu at all, even if they answer "yes" to continue booting, while I am able to.

Any help will be much appreciated.

I just realized something that probably explains the hibernation problem: When booting up, after the GRUB menu loads, my 3 options appear to be "ubuntu 11.04 kernel 2.6.38-8 generic" "Windows" and "memtest"

Notice ubuntu 11.10 doesn't appear, and the kernel version is not the most current one (i believe it is 3.X?). This must have been caused by the problem I encountered during the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 that I described in my first post.

I guess I have a bigger problem, and the hibernation problem is really just a "symptom". Should I create a new thread regarding the kernel problem? Please help!

I was able to solve this problem by installing the newest Linux kernel, per these steps, which for some reason did not install during the upgrade to 11.10.
