Good! Nice first feedback...

This might sound irrational, but try this.  Check first that the
following displays your resume2 setting correctly:

# cat /proc/software_suspend/resume2

Then, presuming it does, RE-write the same value, e.g.:

# echo "swap:/dev/hda6" > /proc/software_suspend/resume2

Then try to hibernate.   I saw this a few times when I was
experimenting, although it doesn't seem to be a problem now - unsure
why.  Possible Fedora bug I guess but easy to incorporate in acpi
scripts.

Remember also to unset CONFIG_X86_4G in your .config as per previous
mail.  Good luck.
