The *same* partition works with Fedora 7, Mandriva 2008, and some more. > Don't use vga=... in your grub.conf as it may break suspend/resume. 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. > Also make sure that the kvm, kvm_intel, iwl3945 modules are unloaded > before suspending.

I guess I should digg also on http://mhensler.de/swsusp/ JIC it has something of help for RHEL5. > At least you know that it can work.

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.
