Please correct me if I'm wrong. But in this case, it's not swsusp2 failt but hibernate script fault. I think you can hack it to do a sync before hibernate the system and then you solve this issue.

I think it can't be easy solved because the 'normal' kernel doesn't know anything about swap patition changed for swsusp2 and that's why it continue loading. I think the better way to fix it, at last, the available right now, is on init scripts because it always run and are kernel independent.

Well, I think hibernate can avoid this kinda of problems checking if the kernel is the same of when it did the hibernation. If this doesn't match it can display a message and ask by cancel or continue. In case of continue it can use mkswap to remove all swsusp2 data. >> The problem described there isn't it but >> the wrong use of swap when you did a suspend and try to load it with a >> normal kernel... >> >> I'm wrong? at> No, you are right and I used a wrong kernel.
