Anybody done this successfully?

Just download and apply the suspend2 patch for your kernel [0] .
Recompile with suspend2 / Swap Writer options enabled, install the
hibernate package [1] and tweak /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf.
Afterwards, add a resume2=swap:/dev/hdaX to your lilo or grub config
and you're good to go.

For a bit of eye-candy, you can download suspend2-userui [0] and
enable it by tweaking /etc/hibernate/suspend2.conf. That way you can
get text-mode, fb-mode progress bars when suspending happens. Also,
you can interrupt the process. I believe the necessary patches to
support this are included in suspend2 versions 2.1.9 and later.

Good luck!
