[Bug 612399] Re: hibernate fails (immediate thaw)

[Alex Nastetsky]

I've found the issue and a workaround, although I think this is still a
bug. The issue is that my swap was in a file on my main partition
instead of in a separate swap partition. If having a swap file on a non-
swap partition works for swap memory in all other respects, seems like
it should also work for hibernating. Anyway, I got rid of the swap file
and created a proper swap partition and hibernate was able to power down
without immediately waking up.

I ran into another issue during the thaw (resume), which is unrelated to
the bug, but I thought I would post my solution in case it helps
someone. The issue was that it would just hang at a blank screen with a
blinking cursor on resuming from hibernate. The solution was to create a
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume file with RESUME=/dev/sda5 in it,
where /dev/sda5 is my swap partition. Then I was able to resume from
future hibernations.
