Wow that must be great for you, I haven't got that to work for some
months now... :-/

Yep, you should. Do that by appending the following kernel parameter
to your Grub or Lilo conf:

resume=/dev/hda9

By the way, I'd recommend you to try Software Suspend ver. 2, though
not officially in the kernel yet, because it's much faster. Take a
look at: http://www.plenz.com/thinkpad_R50e#suspend

I don't know if that'll help, but:
