I think it can't be easy solved because the 'normal' kernel doesn't
know anything about swap patition changed for swsusp2 and that's why
it continue loading.
I think the better way to fix it, at last, the available right now, is
on init scripts because it always run and are kernel
independent. That's looks like the reason why SuSE provided it in this
way.
