Your kernel does not have any recent Software Suspend 2 support compiled in.
Please follow the HOWTO linked from http://softwaresuspend.berlios.de/ for
instructions on how to compile Software Suspend into your kernel.

Well, then follow the link to the HOWTO....

Basically ... you downloaded the script for suspend2. Without recompiling your kernel to support suspend2 that script is useless.

www.suspend2.net --- suspend2 patches and how-to
www.kernel.org --- vanilla kernel download
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=43065 --- nice how to on compiling a kernel in Ubuntu.

Kernel recompiles aren't that rough, but I really wish they would just get this into the mainstream kernel! Anyway, if the suspend/hibernate built into Ubuntu isn't working for you, this is your only option.

Yes there is. I tried one of these kernels and it broke for me, but I was using the binary nvidia "nvidia" driver. If you don't know what I'm taking about, chances are they will work. I think the work around was to manually install (compile & install the binary driver [ http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper ] when running the newly downloaded dagobah kernel) the driver in the kernel. These kernels are for Dapper Drake.

Good Luck.
