Software Suspend2 can handle that, in that case you have to modify your initrd do initiate resume after IDE modules have been loaded, but Software Suspend2 does not run on x64 yet, it's work in progress. > it starts as if no hibernate had been performed except for the lack of a > swap partition. That's because the swappartition contains the memory image. It's highly recommended that you add mkswap to your init scripts, otherwise your risking severe filesystem corruption of you suspend, then boot a non-suspend aware kernel and then try to resume afterwards. That's because the filesystem is in inconsistent state during hibernate, booting and mounting it will modify it, but a resumed kernel won't notice that it has been booted and modified in the meantime and will thus cause corruption. > Any sugestions?

Try to get rid of the initrd, i.e. compile in everything necessary to get the system booting, and it should work.
