I had a problem with hibernate myself on an upgrade from dapper to edgy
whereby a) hibernate wouldn't happen just as you describe, and b) when I
fixed that, the machine would screw up on resume and just reboot
normally without restoring my hibernated session.

I think it can get into state a) when there is a hibernated image on
your swap partition, but the kernel hasn't been told to use it on
reboot. This causes the *now normal* reboot to disregard the swap
partition, and this causes future hibernate attempts to fail.

*** Could you open a terminal and do a:

  $ cat /proc/swaps
  $ sudo swapoff -v -a
  $ cat /proc/swaps
  $ sudo swapon -v -a
  $ cat /etc/fstab

and then attach the results here as a .txt file? BTW, "$" is your
terminal prompt; don't type that!

IIRC, I fixed a) by making really sure that I had swap space available,
and that it was actual swap space.

IIRC, I fixed b) by making sure I had the right "kopt" parameters for
enabling resume on boot from the right partition.

*** Could you also make a copy of your "/boot/grub/menu.lst file",
"XXX"-out any sensitive information like passwords, and attach it to
this ticket? Thanks.

Wont suspend (or hibernate), won't say why, and is annoying.
