According to the docs I have found you need to patch genkernel to run /sbin/resume - it was a longstanding argument between two now retired devs with the result that genkernel wont (ever) support hibernation. I dont know from reading the bugs if it was ever fixed now the dev who "wouldnt" has retired, or is genkernel is still broken. Also, I have no /sbin/resume on any of my systems (some are years old and have been successfully running ToI for most of that time) - so how can the initramfs actually start resumimg? Though I have a more immediate problem - hangs on hibernation and no log messages. BillK
