the script which is used for suspend/hibernate is called "hibernate", and
there are to sub-scripts, "hibernate-ram" and "hibernate-disk", both run some
magic scripts.

last time i had problems suspending, some filesystem was mounted.. e.g.
sd-card or usb-stick, there are some race conditions currently.
