suspend-to-disk with suspend2 and swap on LVM - Works!

[Dick Davies]

Thanks Alexander - I was one of the people trying to get
suspend (hibernate, actually) to lvm swap working.

Tried what you suggested but it still didn't work.
Some questions:

Are you on Dapper?
Are you hibernating or suspending?
Doesn't 'kopt=....' do nothing (until you run update-grub at least)?
What package provides /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf

The reason I'm asking is if I'd done the below,
I'd still be suspending to /dev/hda6 - since it still exists (and I'm
assuming the kopt line is a null-op).
