I have done some reading and discover that suspend writes everything to Ram and then keeps the ram powered up to retain it all, a meagre power demand. Hibernate writes everything open to the swap partition and then on reboot should resume very quickly.
Hibernate works for me for 5 minutes but not 8 hours, suspend is also flaky in that the recovery tends to hang with no display.
Personally I'd recommend filing a bug about it and see what the SuSE folks say, the fact that it used to work and now doesn't is strongly indicative of a kernel regression. If there's a new release coming could you try that out with a live USB or DVD image to see if suspend is better? cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC This email may come with a PGP signature as a file.
