I have similar hardware under Feisty (not a Dell though) and have had the same problem in both Edgy and Feisty. Initially my system hibernated correctly, however when I chose the suspend option in Power Manager hibernate began to resume incorrectly.
When I chose the suspend option, the UI prompted stating that suspend may foobar the system. This may be what has happened. Are there two different systems one for hibernate and one for hibernate and suspend? -- [Edgy] X Server Loads then Halts after resume from hibernate https://launchpad.net/bugs/77582 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
