I'm using 2.6.31.4-rt14. I would still look at your graphics card for
issues, honestly. Have you tried a 'dry-run' hibernate, or are you just
doing a 'force' from the gnome menus?

In any case, this is (probably) not rt-related, so unless you know that
having a ToI only kernel works and the only difference is RT (you may
have tested this already, you haven't specifically mentioned it though)
it doesn't yet belong on this ML.
