ok guys...no need to compile your own kernel...i installed the package from debian unstable repository. If you wanna test if this fix the bug, that's a mini-howto:

1) download the .deb from here: wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.16-1-486_2.6.16-4_i386.deb

2) extract the package with dpkg: sudo dpkg -x linux-image-2.6.16-1-486_2.6.16-3_i386.deb /

3) modify your grub configuration: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst

#add those lines at the end of the file
title Ubuntu, 2.6.16-1-486
#copy the next line exactly as the one specified in the 2.6.15 configuration
root (hd0,4)
# modify the 'root=/dev/hdx' parameter in order to match your root partition; for me it's /dev/hda6
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.16-1-486 root=/dev/hda6 ro quiet splash
initrd /initrd.img-2.6.16-1-486
savedefault
boot

4) restart your system and on the next start, select 'ubuntu 2.6.16-1-486' from grum menu.

5) suspend to ram and hibernation works again (as in breezy)! So, for me this fix 2 bugs: this one and #29767.

i know 2.6.16 will not be included in dapper but maybe we can ask Ben Collins to backport some bits from 2.6.16 (IMHO it related to the ide-cd module).

 Is it right to subscribe Ben to this bug?
