Ah, I see.

BTW: The installer I used (Flight 7) makes the swap smaller (~700Mb)
than the RAM (1Gb in my case) by default. I paid attention to this
this time, and took action, but under Breezy I failed to get
hibernation working the first time because of this unreasonable
default. Then I had to go through the trouble making a swap partition
myself (after I discovered that this was wrong), setting grub
parameters etc. I hope, for the sake of new Ubuntu laptop users, that
this will be fixed in the installer for the release version!
