Two times I had the rather strange issue that the machine booted freshly
instead of resuming! First I thought I maybe didn't wait until the image
was saved, before turning the laptop off. But now it happened a second time
and also the ThinkPad T42 has a battery in it, thus it should always be
able to complete writing the image.

For resuming I found this in the syslog:

Oct 4 09:19:10 shambhala kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector

Oct 4 09:19:10 shambhala kernel: PM: Starting manual resume from disk

Oct 4 09:19:10 shambhala kernel: PM: Error -22 checking image file

Oct 4 09:19:10 shambhala kernel: PM: Basic memory bitmaps freed

What does error -22 mean?

For hibernating:

Which is not complete. It seems the last log messages prior to hibernating
have not fully been written by rsyslog.

Whats going on there? I didn't see this with Nigel's patches without the
readahead patch. But then now I am testing suspend next + his patches,
which may well contain other patches, as far as I understand.

Any change to test with some newer state of suspend-next?

Rafael did you integrate Nigel's patches in your tree?
