  First, I had to keyword "=sys-power/suspend-0.8 ~x86" in
package.keywords.  I set up suspend.conf like so...

snapshot device = /dev/snapshot
resume device = /dev/sda6
#image size = 350000000
#suspend loglevel = 2
compute checksum = y
#compress = y
#encrypt = y
#early writeout = y
#splash = y

  Here is my disk layout

[d530][root][~] fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 60801 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

  No, it's not LVM.  / is half-a-gig, followed by swap, followed by the
rest of the drive.  I use multiple bindmounts to make things look
normal.  When I tried "sync", followed by "hibernate" it shut down, but
when I powered back up with the power button, here's what happened...

- on the reboot, it complained about the superblock "last access" being
  in the future (the half-gig partition is ext2)

- it "fixed" the access date

- complained that the hard drive was "dirty", i.e. not properly shut
  down

- rebooted

- played back a whole bunch of disk transactions on /dev/sda7
  (reiserfs).  Did i mention I ran "sync" before "hibernate"?

- it did the rest of the ordinary boot process.

- it did *NOT* restore anything from the previous session.  Do I have to
  explicitly set something to tell it to restore a previous session?
  Gentoo-wiki is stll down.
