Frankly that's something I really don't understand. swsusp is supposed to work (actually with 2.6.16-rc5-mm2 it works for me 100% of the time) and if it doesn't work for you, there's a bug and it should be fixed. Yet, you don't report it, so it is unknown to anyone except for you and there's no hope anyone will actually work on fixing it. > > Your choice...

Then could you please get some data? Also full dmesg and lsmod listing from your system will help, as well as the output of lspci -vvv. > I doubt it is a different set of modules loaded as my typical session is > always very similar with always the same hardware plugged in (a notebook, > Gnome, Firefox, Evolution, Eclipse, several terminals).
