Hibernate was never working for me out of the box after installation, so I resized the swap space, because I thought it might be too small (which actually broke even more).
Here are the steps I used to finally enable Hibernation:
- launch gnome config
sudo gconf-editorand navigate to "apps -> gnome-power-manager -> general" and make a mark at "can_hibernate" - in the terminal enter
blkidand copy the UUID of the swap partition - edit the filesystem table using "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" and add previously copied UUID of the swap space to the line to mount the swap partition:
UUID=xxxx none swap sw 0 0(where xxxx is the copied UUID) - edit the initramfs settings for resuming using "sudo gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume" and add the previously copied UUID:
RESUME=UUID=xxxx - enable the new initramfs settings by typing
sudo update-initramfs -u
This might also work for other netbooks and also other linux distributions.
Can't wait to try out the new eeebuntu 3, which should be available tomorrow.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
After 3 days googling and spelunking for answers to why my Eeepc wouldn't hibernate, this clued me in to my problem. I had recently changed the swap partition, but I assumed that the system pulled the boot UUID from the existing swap space. Once I changed the UUID and updated the init stuff I was good to go for hibernation.

Hi Matt
I'm glad my little post helped you. I know how frustrating it can be when stuff simply doesn't seem to work. It took me also a while to figure this one out.
Best regards,
Marc
