I am using i810. And it has still nothing to do with *writing* to swap
failing with I/O errors!

It is not. The *same* partition works with Fedora 7, Mandriva 2008, and some
more.

I guess it would break the *resume*, but could not raise I/O *write* errors!
But I don't use vga= with RHEL5 clones anyway, as I remember it was a
regression and it was not supported at some point.

Uh, I'll check later, but I don't seem to be using neither of them.

Thx. I guess I should digg also on
http://mhensler.de/swsusp/
JIC it has something of help for RHEL5.

Yeah, but... on this laptop, even distros that were released *prior* to RHEL5
manage to hibernate! (e.g. openZuZE 10.2)
Well, if I'll discover smth over the weekend, I'll let you know.
