I am trying to get hibernate working on my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200. I am running Slackware 11.0 on the 2.6.17.13 kernel.

Instead, each time on rebooting I get the message that my filesystem is not clean and I also have to re-mkswap my swap partition.
I have enabled Software Suspend in the kernel and have chosen a default resume partition (resume=/dev/hda5). I have also enabled ACPI support in the kernel.
