last lines on my screen are:

...
Software Suspend Core.
Software Suspend Compression Driver loading.
Software Suspend Encryption Driver loading.
Software Suspend Swap Writer loading.
Software Suspend FileWriter loading.
dyn-tick: Maximum ticks to skip limited to 13
dyn-tick: Timer using dynamic tick
ACPI wakeup devices:
SBTN USB0 USB1 EHCI AC97 MC97 LAN0 FSD0
ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)
Software Suspend 2.1.9.11: Swapwriter: Signature found.
Software Suspend 2.1.9.11: Suspending enabled.
