hibernation

["Nima Azarbayjany" <my.informal.conversations@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with Debian Lenny installed on it.  I have regularly installed the updates.  I had no problem with hibernation until the latest kernel updates were installed.  It works, but much slower than before.  While hibernating and restoring, the screen in completely blank except for the cursor at the top left corner of the screen.  And sometime during resume, my laptop makes some noise which is weird and irritating.  Can anyone tell me what can I do to remove that noise and and have faster hibernation/resumes?

Thanks for you help.
