Hibernate doesn't work properly

[Christian Meyer]

Sometimes my laptop (IBM Thinkpad T41) doesn't properly shutdown on hibernate. It seems that the machine reads/writes something from harddisk and doesn't stop doing that.
This problem doesn't always happen, which is a little bit strange.
The latest dapper is installed on my machine.

Kernel is: 2.6.15-19-686 (2.6.15-19.29)

OK, i digged a little bit deeper:
Hibernate works, but it's taking ages(!!) until the memory's content is written to the swap partition. The size of my swap partition is 1372 MB, RAM is 512 MB.

HTH,
Christian

Maybe the problem is also related to bug #36736.
