Great, thanks for testing, Bart, thanks for the patch!

Len, can you add the Bart's patch to your 2.6.31 queue, please?

Hmm.  Interesting.

I _guess_ this problem is ACPI-related as well.  You can try putting
'shutdown method = shutdown' into /etc/suspend.conf (or whatever the s2disk's
configuration file is on your system).

If possible, it would be interesting to see if that also happens if
'echo disk > /sys/power/state' is used to trigger hibernation instead of
s2disk.  In particular when booted with init=/bin/bash.

Best,
Rafael
