32 MiB for a kernel is not that huge O:-)

Okay, point taken.

Ha, well done.

Which reminds me another trick: the "localmodconfig" parameter for the 
"make" that suits perfect for these situations.

You say it: who knows what's happening. 

Hibernating and suspension are two things I never use (neither on windows 
systems not netbooks, laptops, desktops...), mainly because I find them 
pretty useless but specially in linux also because they can break very 
easily -a simple kernel change, a problematic driver... and you're hosed- 
and doing a hard reset is something a would like to avoid as much as I 
can.

You're welcome and good luck with your debugging :-)
