swsusp: cannot find swap device - or is it an ACPI error?

I don't think so. Different people out there (or in here) have their 
swap partitions in different places, and we're all using the same 
kernel, most likely. I think the kernel can either detect where the swap 
partition is based on how it's formatted.

How are you trying to hibernate? That is, are you pressing some keys on 
the keyboard, or choosing the hibernate option form gnome's quit menu, 
or something else?
