No, it's just that since hibernate doesn't work, I don't pointlessly try to
use it that much.

Initial commandline parameters:

OK, it did what pm-hibernate does: suspended. The power light flashed
continuously, as did the tiny LED on my bluetooth dongle, so it clearly
never powered down. When I forced power off by holding the power button down
and then turned the netbook back on, it did not find a hibernation image to
resume from.
Here are the last lines of pm-suspend.log:
