afaik, kernel upgrades never remove the old kernel, so it should be safe to hibernate, as grub allows to boot the old kernel. s2disk will also detect, if it finds a hibernate image file which doesn't match the (new) kernel and print a warning during boot. This allows to restart and chose the old kernel. Cheers, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
