No, I think you still ignore what is this all about. I'll try to make it
short and easy:
Hibernation/suspension is only guaranteed to work "out of the box" on
complete/full systems (computers *and* operating system) that have been
certified to do it so. Period.
On DIY systems, you can only "hope" that hibernation plays nice with your
current hardware and software, and if not (wich happens very often),
debug it, make test or just leave as is.
More info:

(...) In some cases entering into hibernation can cause incorrect
operation on restarting, due to problems with the hibernation software,
or with devices or software which is not fully compliant. Hibernate
causes connections to other devices to terminate.
