Pavel, I'm having some trouble understanding the swsusp.txt file. It 
states: " You must explicitly specify the swap partition to resume from with
``resume='' kernel option."

my swap partition resides in /dev/hda4

So I think  I need to do something like this?
# Boot up Linux by default.
#
default=Linux

image=/vmlinuz
        label=Linux
        read-only
append="hda=autotune resume=/dev/hda4"   <---- added this
#       restricted
#       alias=1

image=/vmlinuz.old
        label=LinuxOld
        read-only
append="ide0=ata100 hda=autotune"      
        optional
#       restricted
#       alias=2


image=/2.4.23
        label=2.4.23
        read-only
        optional


Is this correct, or do i pass the resume option at boot time as a LILO 
option?
