I tried it on an OSDL machine and could suspend (suspend 2), but only resume as far as copying back the original kernel. The problem then looked to me like it was request ids not matching what the drive was expecting (but I'm ignorant of scsi, so might be completely wrong there). > answer is NO.

With my 'device tree' code, I'm getting the struct dev of the device we're using via the struct block_device in the swap_info struct.
