My very basic understanding, after reading a single Google hit, is that hibernation to/from swap has a dependency on a grub entry. Thus, the problem you have now is not due to switching to a swap file per se. It's due to the hibernation code not automatically recognizing you did so. Did you read any of the Google search results? All of the answers you need should be there, or not far away. -- Stan
