My swap partition is also /dev/hda5 so I added that to the #kopt line
in menu.lst, but for some reason hibernate still doesn't work.

Looking at /var/log/acpid, I don't see any hibernate events, only
occasionally "button/lid". Here is a section from it:

[Tue Jun  6 23:37:10 2006] starting up
[Tue Jun  6 23:37:10 2006] 54 rules loaded
[Tue Jun  6 23:37:18 2006] client connected from 4482[108:108]
[Tue Jun  6 23:37:18 2006] 1 client rule loaded
[Tue Jun  6 23:50:17 2006] exiting

I tried at that point to hibernate the laptop via the gnome logout
panel. The laptop appeared to hibernate (screen darkened, harddisk
activity for about thirty seconds, then the system turned itseof off),
but it never seems to restore properly.

Thanks...
