For those uninitiated with suspend2, it is by far more stable and faster than what's currently available with swsusp which is in mainline. You really have to try it out to check out how cool it is. On my Dell D600, suspend and resume has been flawless since I installed it a few months ago.

it's also quick, resuming from 1.5GB of swap (I have 1.5GB or RAM) takes from powerup to X in 30 seconds.

If you really are having issues with it, I suggest you do what Nigel suggested, subscribe to the suspend2 mailing list and ask. We're all very helpful (as all FLOSS users are).

Also, check out the article on suspend2 on the MyOSS Magazine. It's in Edition 1 of the Magazine.

http://mag.my-opensource.org is the address.

(yeah, the last bit there was promotion of the mag.)
