hibernation didn't work for me since I started to use IT8212 controller. Now I did some debugging (booting with no_console_suspend init=/bin/sh).

Found that resume fails (2.6.28) with "serial number mismatch 'some garbage' != 'some other garbage'" and "revalidation failed" messages. That's because the controller firmware fills different serial number in the IDENTIFY every boot.

The patch below fixes the resume simply clearing the serial number. The proper fix would be probably to fill in the serial number of the RAID volume instead.

I wonder why they just don't put it there (if they indeed have such number). If I don't mistake, this is a RAID disk?

I assume that there must be something like that stored on the drives but I don't know where.

Fix resume on pata_it821x RAID volume by clearing the serial number in IDENTIFY data, which is otherwise different on each boot.
